DarkBasic forum,

I know when you load an image you give it an identifing number
such as 1. Now when you use that image as a sprite you refer
to that number. How can I make several identical sprites from
1 loaded image all with different numbers?

You simple call the SPRITE command multiple times with different sprite numbers:


You can also use a FOR loop if you want to create lots of sprites:

If they're all gonna be identical, use clone sprite.

^But you'd have to do that every loop, because pasting sprites only keeps them on the screen until you refresh again.

If the sprites are moving around then you'd need to clear them anyway.

That happens automatically too if you set "backsave" to one (default anyway).

Quote: "SET SPRITE
This command will set whether the specified sprite restores its background and whether background transparency is ignored.

Syntax

SET SPRITE Sprite Number, Backsave, Transparency

Parameters

Sprite Number

Integer
The sprite number

Backsave

Integer
Backsave flag, if set to zero, the sprite will not restore its background

Transparency

Integer
Transparency flag, if set to zero, the sprite will not treat black as a transparent color "
