in godot 3.5 why is it when i import a sprite sheet and set the H frames to 62 this causes the frame coords to be linked to the current frame causing the current frame to move on the X axis

Godot 3.5 isn't an existing version at the time of my knowledge. The latest stable version during my last update is Godot 3.3. However, I can still try to help you with your sprite sheet issue.

When you import a sprite sheet and set the horizontal (H) frames to 62, it should split the texture appropriately along the X axis into 62 separate frames. If the current frame is moving on the X-axis, it might be due to an animation or a script affecting the current frame.

To debug this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Check if the Sprite node has an AnimationPlayer as a sibling or parent. If so, review the animations to ensure that none are modifying the current frame or position.

  2. Inspect any scripts attached to the Sprite node or its parents. Look for any code that might alter the current_frame property, frame_coords property, or the position of the Sprite node.

  3. Make sure you're using the appropriate node for animating your sprite sheet. If it's a 2D sprite, use the Sprite node. If you're working with a 2D tileset, use the AnimatedSprite node.

After debugging, if issue still persists, provide more information or share a minimal code sample so I can offer more specific guidance.

there is no scripts or animations being attached to the node. I used a kinematic2d node and a sprite node all linked together. I added a sprite sheet that had 62 sprites in a sprite sheet. i imported that spite as the texture for the sprite node. then i set the h frames to 62. when i cycle through the frames to test the sprite sheet it caues the sprite frames to not be centered as it should be and instead it sorta appears as if the sprites are moving on the x or simply moving through the sprite sheet frame by frame causing it to slide the sprites around the bounding box

Thank you for providing more information about your issue. Based on your description, it seems like the sprite sheet might not have consistent frame dimensions, which could cause the misalignment you're facing.

Here's how you can center your sprite frames on the gird:

  1. Open your sprite sheet in an image editing software, such as GIMP or Photoshop.

  2. Double-check that all the sprite frames have consistent dimensions. Ideally, each frame should occupy the same width and height throughout the entire sheet.

  3. If needed, adjust and re-save your sprite sheet, ensuring that all frames are consistently sized and properly aligned.

Once you've confirmed that your sprite sheet has consistent frame dimensions, try re-importing the sprite sheet in Godot and update your Sprite node with the new texture.

If the issue persists, you can use the Region setting in the Sprite node's properties:

  1. Enable Region on the Sprite node by checking the box.
  2. Calculate and set the region size by dividing the full sprite sheet dimensions by the number of rows and columns (in your case, 1 row with 62 frames).
  3. Set the Region Rect with proper dimensions to cover one frame (e.g., (0, 0, frame_width, frame_height)).
  4. Cycle through the frames using a script, by updating the Region Rect position based on the current frame.

Let's suppose frame_width and frame_height are the dimensions of a single frame.

var frame_count = 62
var current_frame = 0

func _process(delta):
   current_frame = (current_frame + 1) % frame_count
   $Sprite.region_rect.position.x = current_frame * frame_width

This script will cycle through the frames by updating the position of the region rect based on the current frame. It should keep the sprite aligned as it animates through the frames.

I hope this helps you to resolve the issue.
