To add costumes to a sprite, first select the sprite, then navigate to the "Costumes" tab and choose one of the costume options.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Select your Sprite: In your project, click on the sprite you want to add a costume to. This will make it the active sprite.
-
Go to the Costumes Tab: Look for the "Costumes" tab, usually located next to the "Code" and "Sounds" tabs at the top of the scripting area. Click on it. This will open the costume editor for the selected sprite.
-
Choose a Costume: You'll typically find a button labeled "Choose a Costume" or a similar option. Clicking this button will present you with several ways to add a new costume:
- Choose a Costume from the Library: Browse a collection of pre-made costumes organized by category. This is a quick and easy way to add interesting looks to your sprite.
- Paint a New Costume: Open a built-in image editor where you can draw and design your own custom costume from scratch.
- Upload a Costume: Import an image file (e.g., PNG, JPG, SVG) from your computer to use as a costume.
- Surprise: Randomly select a costume from the library.
- Camera: (If available) Take a picture with your computer's camera to use as a costume.
-
Imported Costume Management:
- If you upload or create a costume and want to delete it, simply select the costume and look for a small "x" or "delete" icon, usually in the top right corner of the costume's thumbnail. Clicking this will remove the selected costume.
By using these methods, you can easily add and manage different costumes for your sprites, allowing you to create complex animations and interactive experiences.
