Sprite.Create is not working

I use Sprite.Create succcessfully, so it's probably some weird issue. (0,0,500,500) means a box from 0,0 to 500,500; 0.5f,0.0f means the pivot will be top-center. Would these settings put the object out of view?

Is it possible to create gameobjects during the import process? That seems like an easy way to create memory leaks, perhaps Unity blocks it. Have you tried using a [$$anonymous$$enuItem("")] function?

I made it big so that I can see it easily. It creates a sprite which I would like to assign to a SpriteRenderer but it just points to nothing. Also the pivot point should point to the Bottom.

Yes it is possible to create gameobjects during the import process, but make sure you call DestroyImmediately to delete it once you are done. I am using it to create prefabs. I am trying to automate the import process to create prefabs so a $$anonymous$$enuItem won't do for me :(

I tried several code variations but it still doesn't work no matter what I do. It is like Sprite.Create is doing something funky with the texture. Even tried both OnPostprocessTexture and OnPostprocessAllAssets, same thing. Of course, it works great during runtime code, but that is not what we want.

If anyone is able to do Sprite.Create fine in these 2 functions, please post them as answers!

Of course it's bottom-center, why would we have any consistency in our coordinate systems. Consistency is for lazy people. [/sarcasm]

$$anonymous$$y only other suggestion is, is the texture a Sprite-type texture? You might need to do things with TextureImporter to be sure you have a Sprite texture to work with.

What texture is actually being passed to the function? I do not know if you have it set in the inspector, or if you set it elsewhere? Are you trying to do this for a texture in a folder, automatically? Is the texture actually 500x500? Just looking for info.

It is a .png file. The function and texture is from http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessTexture.html. I am trying to do create a prefab from a .png file automatically. The texture is not really 500x500 but I was just testing it. It should be texture.width and texture.height ins$$anonymous$$d.

I just managed to workaround this problem. I gave up on this function and attempted on http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessAllAssets.html ins$$anonymous$$d. Same issue.

Then I used this to assign the Sprite to the SpriteRenderer

 sr.sprite = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(fullPath, typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;

Works great!

It could work for OnPostprocessTexture as well but I haven't tried it yet. Hope it helps somebody!

I was going to post this. Which mainly came from the OnPostProcessTexture docs. Because you need to specify where the texture is.

void OnPostprocessTexture (Texture2D texture) {
// Only post process textures if they are in a folder // "sprite texture" or a sub folder of it.

             string lowerCaseAssetPath = assetPath.ToLower();
             
             if (lowerCaseAssetPath.IndexOf ("/sprite texture/") == -1){
                 return;}
             
                 GameObject go = new GameObject("TEST");
                 SpriteRenderer sr = go.AddComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
  
                 sr.sprite = Sprite.Create(texture, new Rect(0,0,500,500), new Vector2 (0.5f, 0.0f),100f);
         }

That is what I did as well. Did it work for you? I didn't check if the gameobject's spriterender actually hold that sprite, since I converted it to a prefab. And the prefab's sprite was null. But then again it could be my textureimporter settings that caused it not to work properly, since I just discovered a bug and fixed it. :o

I will try this evening... hopefully.
