Title: How do I set the opacity of a 2D sprite? [Solved]
Post by: Tricky_Widget on February 03, 2015, 09:07:37 PM

I have a 2D project and I need to set the opacity of a sprite.  I've looked and looked, but everything I can find only seems to apply to 3D objects.  Does anyone know how to do this with 2D sprites?

Thanks!

yes, it's simple,

drag and drop your sprite into your action panel to get set property of this object
and then use color > a for alpha modifications

you may also use material >  color > a

or shared material if you need this applied to all instances of the object

Thank you for the reply!  Unfortunately, I'm not following you.  I can drag the sprite in and insert the get or set properties actions, but I don't see any properties having to do with color.  Attached are what I do see.

Could you elaborate?  Thanks!

Ah ha!  It's not the sprite I need to get the properties of, but the SpriteRenderer component of the sprite.  That has the Color > A which does indeed change the opacity.

Thank you very much!
