Is it possible to convert a sprite to a 2d image?


Or, perhaps, is it possible, to directly draw a sprite onto another sprite?

snap2000,

Does not GrabSprite() answer ?

Another way to copy a sprite to an image is to copy the sprite forst to an array and then to copy pixels from the array to an opened image.

Hi, to draw a sprite inside another sprite, you must use 'UseBuffer' that redirects the sprite drawing to another sprite instead the screen:

Code: Select all

   UseBuffer(1) ; draw sprites on sprite number 1
   
   DisplaySprite(5, 1, 1)

   UseBuffer(-1) ; restore the normal sprite output

Thank you! Perfect! Awesome!

I was trying

startdrawing(spriteoutput())

until I realized that displaysprite isn't a 2D drawing function.
