sprite_exists


Description

This function returns whether a sprite with the specified index exists or not in the project being run.


Syntax:

sprite_exists(index);

Argument Description
index The index of the sprite to check.


Returns

N/A


Example:

if sprite_exists(spr_array[0])
    {
    sprite_index = spr_array[0];
    }
else
    {
    sprite_index = spr_BaseSprite;
    }

The above code checks an array to see if it contains a valid sprite index and if so it assigns that sprite to the instance, but if not, it assigns a sprite from the included resources.
