Split Groups on Export Sprite Sheet

Manz · November 15, 2020, 9:39pm

Hi!

Would it be very difficult to add a “Split groups” feature?

I am especially interested because I could create tilesets with groups, then I only export such as “Split layers”, but with groups instead layers.

Attempt: Complex tiles with multiple source edit layers.

I was facing the same issue and decided to create a script to flatten each group before opening this export dialog. After the export the changes are reverted automatically.

Export Groups.lua

-- This script will:
-- (1) Flatten each group into a layer;
-- (2) Invoke the 'export sprite sheet' command;
-- (3) Undo the changes.

-- v1.0: Initial version.
