Sprites are really any image you see on screen in Starcraft and in most 2d games.
But going deeper what "sprites" are used in sc lingo it would be the part of the doodad that the unit can pass through.
(Like on a tree the bottom of the tree where the marine has to go around it is the doodad(actually a piece of terrain), the top of the tree in which the marine goes "under" is the sprite.
They're used to cover blockiness and sometimes to add a certain feel to an area.
lol i didnt even know what sprites were
lol anyways...thanks...
question:
but is possible a utility for to edit sprites or doodads?
yes, but you cant play it without a mod.
sprites = grps
doodads = tileset editing + grp editing
