Hi all,
I am looking for some assistance with Sprites

Say I have this sprite:

+ Code Snippet

	milk_image 	= LoadImage ( "scriptbank\\xanthir\\Milk.bmp" )
	milk_sprite = CreateSprite ( milk_image )
	SetSpriteSize ( milk_sprite , 1 , -1 )
	SetSpritePosition ( milk_sprite, 200, 200 )

I am assigning this sprite the name of "milk_sprite", right?

I want to know if I can manipulate this sprite later, through another variable, like this:

+ Code Snippet

item_image = "milk_sprite"

SetSpritePosition ( item_image , 15, 15)

Is something like this possible?

Yes but without the quotes, i.e. item_image = milk_sprite

You can also do:

milk_sprite = CreateSprite( LoadImage ( "scriptbank\\xanthir\\Milk.bmp" ) )

That way the storage used by LoadImage is freed straight away.

Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!
