Hi,

Wondering if:
I can delete an image after I used it to create a sprite?
Let me know, thanks!

Write a small app that creates a sprite from an image, deletes the image and then manipulates or redisplays the sprite. That will give you your answer.

if you are going to use an image you cant just delete it

if you delete the sprites/objects that use the image you can then delete the image
otherwise you will get crashes

The idea of deleteimage is to delete an image you are finished using

I think what you want is https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Sprite/DeleteSprite.htm

also:
Quote: "Can An Image Be Deleated After Loading A Sprite?"
(sic) which suggested that you were using LoadSprite()

while:
Quote: "GetSpriteImageID
Gets the ID of the image currently assigned to the sprite. This only works if the image was loaded with an ID (or assigned one by AGK)"

...which doesn't appear to be the case (ID = 0 using LoadSprite() = nothing to delete).

then:
Quote: "Tried it, does not work..."

...but, didn't use LoadSprite().

hoping all of this helps

The exception... I think... is that you can delete sub images so long as you dont delete the main atlas image.
