Sprite Properties

Scripts

Open up the script panel for the sprite.

On Push: This script runs when the player bumps into or walks over the sprite.

Wall

A sprite that's marked as a wall prevents the avatar from walking over it. (The avatar cannot be marked as a wall.)

Item

A sprite that's marked as an item can be picked up by the player when they bump into/walk over it. (The avatar cannot be marked as an item.)

Transparent

A transparent sprite can be placed on top of other sprites, and lets you see through to the sprites beneath. For example, if you make the avatar transparent, you'll be able to see floor tiles even when walking over them.

Canvas

Click to toggle pixels on the canvas.

Preview

Shows a preview of the sprite, including any animations. If the current room's color palette has more than one foreground color, you can click the sprite preview to cycle through colors.
