What is SpriteRenderer

SpriteRenderer is a component inherited from MonoBehaviour. It can attach sprites and commit sprites to EasyMotion2D's sprite rendering pipeline.

How to use

  • Update Mode use to decide where to call the SpriteRenderer.Apply function.
  • The SpriteRenderer.Apply use to commit sprite's propertys change for rendering. That means if you change any property of SpriteRenderer or change transform's property on parent gameobject, you should call SpriteRenderer.Apply.
  • If update mode is none, then you need call SpriteRenderer.Apply manually in your code.

• Depth
  • Depth decide how the sprites sorting in rendering pipeline in the same layer.
  • Depth value range is 0-512, value more less, it will rendering more late.

• Plane
  • Decide which plane the sprite will rendering to.

How to define occlusion between SpriteRenderers

• EasyMotion use the gameobject's   layer  and SpriteRenderer's   depth  to decide how a sprite's occlusion with others.

• Use layer for occlusion between SpriteRenderer
  • EasyMotion2D use layer 16 to layer 32 decide sprite's depth.
  • If gameobject's layer less than 16, then it same as the layer 16.
  • If gameobject in the same layer, you should use the depth member in SpriteRenderer.

• Use layer and depth of SpriteRenderer for occlusion between SpriteRenderer.
