Sprites

Sprites are 2D images that are rendered so that they always face the user. Many sprites animate and have cool transparency and blending effects.

Sprites can be loaded from .pak or .sin files.

You can find Sprites in the Sprites folder of the pak files from Quake2, Sin and Half-Life

With Sprites you can add effects like:

You move a sprite just as you would any other object.

You can rotate a sprite on it's Z axis only

A sprite can be scaled on it's X and Y axes

Blending effects are enhanced when you allow the Sprite to be effected by lighting

Many of the sprites animate. If the sprite is capable of animation, it will animate when loaded. You can stop or single step through the animation with the controls in the Sprite page in the Objects dialog.
