Sprite Enter Node

Sprite Enter brings a character sprite onto the stage.

Use Insert > Sprites & FX > Show Sprite when a character first appears or when you want to place a new visible sprite in a slot.

Properties

Field	What it does
Name	Optional editor-only name for the node.
Sprite	Sprite asset affected by this node.
Pose	Pose image shown for the sprite. Falls back to the sprite asset’s default pose when needed.
Slot	Named stage slot, such as left, center, or right.
Transition	Entry transition. Supported values are slide, slide_from_left, slide_from_right, slide_from_top, slide_from_bottom, fade, rise, and none.
Offset X / Offset Y	Pixel offsets applied after placement.
Next	Node that runs after the sprite appears.
Interactable	Allows Wait For Sprite Activation to wait for this visible sprite.
Auto Emphasize	Lets dialog emphasis affect this sprite unless set false.
Position Mode	slot, auto, or custom.
Auto Position	left, center, or right when position mode is auto.
Position X / Position Y	Manual scale position when position mode is custom.
Position X Offset / Position Y Offset	Manual pixel offsets when position mode is custom.
Transition Duration	Optional duration when transition is not none.

Runtime behavior

When the node runs, VNC resolves the sprite pose and writes a visible sprite into the selected slot. If another sprite already uses that slot, it is replaced.

Position mode controls placement:

Mode	Behavior
slot	Uses the named sprite slot from project settings.
auto	Lets VNC distribute visible auto-positioned sprites across the stage.
custom	Uses manual scale and offset fields.

Create the sprite asset first

Sprite Enter needs a sprite asset. If Properties offers Create Sprite, use it or import a sprite image before relying on the node.

Sprite Enter is your clean entry point for a character. Once the sprite is visible, Sprite Update and Sprite Exit can change or remove it.
