# Animated Sprites {% embed url="" %} ## Enable Animated Sprites You can enable animated sprites through Feel Speak's [Settings](/feel-speak/editors/settings.md). The option is under 'Sprites'. This will make the sprite animation fields available in the [Object Manager](/feel-speak/editors/object-manager.md). ## Working With Animation Fields
You can set sprite animations for each character and their emotions through the Object Manager's [Object Manager](/feel-speak/editors/object-manager.md#characters) section. The 'Idle Sprite Animation' is used when character is not actively speaking. The 'Speaking Sprite Animation' is used when the character is speaking. ### Notes * The animation is based on the order of the sprites in the **Sprites** list. * **Speed** at 1 means each sprite will be displayed once per second. So if there are 10 sprites, speed at 2 will display each sprite twice per second (20 FPS). * The **FPS** label simply refers to the number of sprites displayed per second. * The animation preview doesn’t use the exact same code as the game, so it may be **slightly** off. However, it's accurate enough to trust. * If the sprites list is empty, the static sprite will be used instead, and no animation preview will be displayed. * Animated sprites are prioritized over static sprites. * It's okay to reuse the same image consecutively to set larger delays inside the animation itself. ### Recommendation You can mix animated sprites for some characters and static sprites for others. For a consistent visual style, it’s best to choose one approach for all characters—but ultimately it’s up to your project’s needs. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
