Dynamic Image URL Loader
This extension allows you to dynamically change the texture of any Sprite object during gameplay. It's perfect for displaying real-time advertisements, player avatars, or dynamic content fetched from the internet.
Key Features:
Automatic Fitting: No matter the source image's resolution (HD, 4K, etc.), it automatically scales to fit your Sprite's pre-defined size in the editor.
Variable Support: Directly use GlobalVariableString(MyURL) or scene variables without complex expressions.
Optimized Performance: Uses PixiJS texture caching to ensure smooth transitions and low memory usage.
Error Handling: Includes built-in console logging for broken links or loading errors.
How to use:
Simply use the "Load URL into Sprite" action, select your target Sprite, and provide a direct image link (e.g., "https://site.com/image.png") or a variable name.
How to use the extension
How to Use
This extension allows you to load external images from any URL or String variable directly onto a Sprite object while maintaining the sprite's original dimensions.
Basic Usage (One-time Load)
Add the "Load URL into Sprite" action to your event sheet.
Object: Select the Sprite you want to change (e.g., a billboard or profile picture).
URL: Enter the direct image link in quotes (e.g., "https://example.com/image.png").
Smooth: Set to true for high-quality scaling or false for pixel-art style.
Advanced Usage (Interactive/Real-time)
You can use this extension to create dynamic systems like ad-boards or avatar editors:
Input: Use a Text Input object to let the user (or your system) type a URL.
Trigger: When a button is clicked or a variable changes, call the "Load URL into Sprite" action.
Dynamic Source: Instead of a hardcoded link, use a variable: GlobalVariableString(MyUrlVariable).
Save & Persistence: To keep the image across sessions, save the URL variable to Storage and call the loading action at the "Beginning of the scene."
Key Technical Note
Auto-Resizing: The extension automatically detects the current width and height of your Sprite in the scene and forces the new image to fit those exact dimensions.
Supported Formats: Works with standard web formats like .png, .jpg, and .webp
