Hiii hello, I have a video in my youtube channel that kinda does this.

Ofcourse, it’s in an approach that I would go for, feel free to apply it as you see fit.

Random Texture for Mobs in Godot.

In the video, it’s a random texture loader though.

But the general idea stays the same:

onready var The_Texture_file : String #The texture
export var Variation : int

func ready():
	The_Texture_file
	
	match Variation: #Picks a match of skin
		1: #Skin 1
			The_texture_file = "res://Directory_of_skin_1" #sets the texture file to be loaded as skin 1
		2: #Skin 2
			The_texture_file = "res://Directory_of_skin_2" #sets the texture file to be loaded as skin 2
	
	
			
	$Sprite.texture = load(The_texture_file) #this loads the texture file

well after watching it, i kinda get it what you mean. making random skin to generate.
but what i mean is like this one. lets say i want to take that fifth block, after it get hit it change to next block without me cutting it and put them in order.
so its like get height and weight of the sprite and move X, Y every time it get hit. so we dont need to put stuff in order and just call stuf with code.

So, was this for like a healthbar? For Icon or custom healthbar like yours, I would just use the frame feature of the Sprite node.

Some solution:

• Create a AtlasTexture for each ball and change it’s region.
• Use a array of AtlasTexture and change texture of the ball.

well i finally just use rect2():

@onready var sprite_2d_2 = $Sprite2D2
@export var num_frames: int = 4 # Total number of frames in the sprite sheet
@export var frame_width: int = 32 # Width of each frame
@export var frame_height: int = 16 # Height of each frame

var region
var current_frame : int = 0

func _ready():
sprite_2d_2.region_enabled = true #eneble region selection on image
region = Rect2(0, 0, frame_width, frame_height) #set the first image part
sprite_2d_2.region_rect = region

func _process(delta):
# Example hit detection - you should replace this with your actual hit detection logic
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“ui_accept”): # Simulate a hit with the “Enter” key
on_hit()

func on_hit():
current_frame += 1
update_region()

func update_region():
var x = current_frame * frame_width
var y = 0 #asume every frame have same y, you can change it the way you like
region = Rect2(x,y, frame_width, frame_height)
sprite_2d_2.region_rect = region

You’re kind of missing the point. You want to replace an ongoing production.

All it is just a next frame in the production. I don’t really care how you do it. Different color. A different mask. Or, a different picture.
I think I see what’s going on. Everyone is getting sold on Godot 3.1 Because it uses the JTAC Node interface.
