Swapping sprites with sprite resolver

[Kurt-Dekker]

@EnslinE

it just keeps defaulting back to the original sprite after I click to another key frame and I do not know why

Perhaps you have “Write Defaults” checked in the animation state?

NOTE: If you animate what Sprite is shown that will overwrite stuff you do in code, unless you put your overwrite code in LateUpdate(). Here’s why:

Unity - Manual: Order of execution for event functions

Meanwhile, here’s just general animation stuff to note:

Anything with Animations / Animators / Mechanim:

Only consider the code AFTER you have done this critical step:

Always start with the Animator state machine and prove it works in isolation, no code at all.

Here’s more reading:

Press keyboard key to play animation using different animations per assigned key

With animation always start with the animator / animation setup itself. You can clear the scene, pull in the animated object, then while the game is running, use the Animator window to wiggle all the properties to make sure it does what you want when you set it. If you can’t get it to work by hand-setting the properties, nothing you do in code will matter, obviously. Usually for one-shot things like a dance you use .SetTrigger, not .SetBool… then mark the dance animation to cleanly exit on it…
