I didn't really no what part of the forum to put this on but thought it would be best here. Now what is the best program to separate multiple sprites on a sprite sheet?

1 rep to the first reply as I need it ASAP

the erase button? on the GM paint?

Game maker?Sprite editor?

Any other easier programs. E.g. If I had a sheet with 100 sprites on it I don't wont to have to delete every single one.

I dont think you will be able to find a editor like that :| i think you might just have to split them into specific characters eg. if you had 10 character and each character had 10 images, copy 10 of the sprites (1 character) and put them in a new sprite then seperate them. Because i do not think youll find a program like that

Also on something totally irrelevant to this topic i am quickly making space invaders for a friend (which I basically completed in 10 minutes) but I am feeling quite dumb at the moment and cannot remember how to make it so that there is only one bullet in the room at a time. (so that the player cannot just keep clicking space)

[dialgpalkia]

Create:

can_shoot = true;

space

if can_shoot = true{
     //Ur bullet code :D
}
if instance_number(obj_bullet) = 1 {
      can_shoot = false;
}

Bullet if outside room:

instance_destroy();

Game Maker doesn't care how many sprites are in a sheet. Just open a sprite, click EDIT SPRITE, go to the "File" menu and click ADD FROM SHEET then set all the parameters so you use only the sprites you want for that sprite.
