4.10 can't create flipbooks from sprites

I was doing the 2D Side Scroller Part 1 and when I select the sprites to make a flipbook animation the animation was “created” but when i try to open it or right click it nothing happens, so, I change the folder and go to the sprite folder again and the flipbook disappears, i need to create a empty flipbook and add the sprites

Hey Keyshooter,

So I am not experiencing the same issues you are reporting here. Follow the steps below to see if you are setting it up correctly, as there are multiple ways to create a Paper2D flipbook.

  • Create a new Blank Paper2D Project.
  • In the Content Browser, select the ‘Add New’ dropdown > Animation > Paper Flipbook
  • Now drag any one of your sprites into the empty bar area where it says ‘Right-click here or drop in sprites to add key frames’ (highlighted in image).
  • You should be able to continually add sprites in the order you desire and edit the ‘Frames Per Second’ to get the correct time dilation.

Let me know if this is not the case for you, or if you were able to resolve it by following the instructions.

Cheers,

Hey Keyshooter,

I was able to confirm this issue does occur in 4.9.2 and 4.10.2, but does not actually occur in preview 4.11. There were a few fixes implemented for Paper2D that have fixed this issue in particular. Thank you for clarifying the repro steps and taking the time to report the issue.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
