How can I give a backpack the Snurtle Shell Armor ability?

[MrDoge124]

I have a backpack that I would like to modify to have the ability of a snurtle shell, where you can hide inside it.

I got it to work but the bag doesn't have the sprites for it so the bag turns invisible. (See picture)

Is there a way to give the backpack the animations or sprites needed? Can I swap the animations when you use it and change them back when you stop using it?

I've attached the backpack's code below.

green_backpack.lua

i think you can add in local assests the shell assests to do this

 

if you want to make a whole new hiding animatio you need to add another image to be the static version ( i think)

I added the shell animation zip to the local assets but it didn't work. I think I have to get it to actually use the animations when the backpack is used.

It uses a custom backpack i retextured but I don't think the backpack has right sprite, so it becomes invisible. I will try later to add the shell sprite onto the sprite sheet and see if it works
