So the image is set to Advanced and with Read/Write Enabled checked? Your reply wasn't clear about that. Even if you haven't done anything to the image itself Unity may have lost this setting because of various reasons.
Whenever the tint map stops working for me this is usually what has happened.
Only the Tint map texture itself need be set to Advanced - not the sprites themselves.
If only his face is working, then check that your FollowTintMap script is on the uppermost-level sprite in the hierarchy, and Affect children too? is checked.
It is only his face on the down idle, walk and talk animation that is not working. Every other possible animation is fine with the tint map affecting the sprites. None of these issues seem to have anything to do with it, as sprites lower in the heirachy have or don't have tint maps and they all work
It's almost certainly because not all of your sprite GameObjects are enabled - meaning the script isn't aware of them. Try enabling all gameobjects when the scene is not running. If that doesn't solve it, you'll have to add separate FollowTintMap components to each sprite that isn't working.
Hi, i tried adding follow tint map components to all parts (even if it is only the face down that isnt affected by the Tint map) how do i enable gameobjects when the scene is not running?
The Head down game object needs to be enabled whenever the sprite faces down, idle, walks or talks down so it is always on unless walking, talking, idle in up or right postioin, so tis sin;t the problem.
the sprite is enabled when necessary but the tint map is only ignoring this layer
As you have a FollowTintMap that affects children on Walk_D as well as Head, the two are going to conflict because they'll both by trying to change the tint of Head.
What happens if you remove the one on Walk_D (and any other that's above it in the hierarchy)? Are you controlling the Head object's sprite colour in an animation?
