Universal Fighting Engine Forum → General → Duplicate 2D animation files in UFE?
I want create clone characters like Ryu and Ken to the extent that both characters have the same animation files but each have different sprites. I thought if I simply duplicate the files, change the sprites and prefab with would work. UFE does recognize the duplicate animations.
Is it possible to duplicate animation files and have them registered in UFE without having to manually create new files?
Please advise.

From what it sounds like, you're doing it the only way I think it can be done, unless you find something that can alter a single animation's sprite change calls to be based off the prefab running it?

I don't understand, but thanks for the reply.

You have two character files right? If your trying to duplicate animation files and its not working, I would say try creating a new animation and see what happens.

@FreedTerror I tried it. It doesn't work. The Animation file is Read Only so I can't replace the sprites.

Duplicate the animation file (Ctrl+D). That sometimes makes a duplicate file that is set to read-write.

@apollo If you still can't get it to work, can you provide a screenshot of whats going on? I might be able to help you a bit better if I see whats happening.

@MrPonton: Which animation becomes editable? The duplicate or original. Nonetheless it didn't work for me. @FreedTerror: I've given up trying an decided to manually create the files

The duplicate becomes editable. Typically my animation files are an FBX so it's read-only, duplicating them creates them outside of the FBX and allows the new file to be edited.

An aging asset store asset Skele had a feature to alter naming paths of animations. Maybe??? that could do the trick? It does appear unsupported and won't work in the latest versions of unity. It was pretty sweet in its day... It's what I used to convert the generic Mike to humanoid

@christougher: Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like that asset will be off the Asset store soon because it's becoming obsolete.
