Warning

This is an extension made by a community member and it only got through a light review by the GDevelop extension team. As such, we can't guarantee it meets all the quality standards of fully reviewed extensions.

Helpful for making animations for sprites without having to spend time animating the character in editors

  • You can use multi animations on one object to get more effects
  • For the animations that do Not have Trigger once, you can use Timers to make it Have one !
  • Added condition to check if the door is Open or Close from animation (3D open/close door)
  • Added condition to check if the animation has finished (if trigger once set to YES)
  • User can change the origin point of the object to control the animations
  • Animation behavior must be installed in the object to make the extension works
