Loading a .gif file for a sprite value

[Dah Sweatah Shreddah]

Hello,
Im trying to load a .gif file onto my platforming game to replace just a single image as a sprite.
I tried one way of loading several images that makes it look like a moving animating, but does anyone know an easier way to do this? thank you

You can't use Gif images in AGK.

The correct way is to make a sprite sheet, usually in Png format. This is all of your animation frames in one image, usually in a grid or strip of images. After CreateSprite(), you then SetSpriteAnimation() to set the frames, and PlaySprite() to animate it. There are other commands such as SetSpriteSpeed() to finetune it.

See the official docs[www.appgamekit.com] on it and a great in depth example here:

Kind Regards
