How to do a sprite texture material?

[Michael Betke]

Maybe just a quicky for the material7scripting gurus out here.

 

I have a flat sprite with an alphachannel. Now I want the sprite facing my camera all the time when I rotate around it.

(Like in old video games, duke3d or doom1) hehe

 

Suggestions?

Use gamelib It has the AddEntityTag() function which creates a sprite which always faces the camera. And like always, you don't have to use gamelib, you can just copy and modify the code you need from it.

And like always: I'm no coder and need an in-editor solution.

 

Yes I know, I'm a difficult person lol

hmm. using billboards is not the same i guess?

 

I dont have a 3d model from which it could generate a billboard. I need a sprite.

You can make a 3D plane and apply your sprite as it's texture.
