hey there, exporting with effects causes there to be an empty file for effects. Could I be doing something wrong? I see that effects are enabled and exporting them is toggled on as well

Hi. In the export settings you have a toggle called "Extract effects", if this is ON the effects (slash and magic effects) from the character will be rendered into a seperate sub-folder called effects in the characters folder, this also means that no effects will be present on the main characters spritesheets. This is for users who want to work with layers and have effects on a seperate one. Did that answer your question?
I understand that process and the purpose.
When extracting, the folder gets created but is not populated with any files. This is the issue I’m expressing.
we toggle on the exporting of effects and turn on any of the effects, and turn up with an empty effects folder unexpectedly every time.
It’s seemingly not generating these sheets.
So I did a ton of testing and I’m certain generating effects is not working at all.
I have done a bunch of tests, which include hiding all, leaving visible, partial hidden parts of the sprite.
I’ve ensured 1-3 of the effects are toggled on. I have
export extracts is checked on. I have tried with and without animations to include.
I cannot create animations at all. The folder every time populates completely empty and even the sprite sheets (which I’m expecting) do not include the effects.
it seems someone else may have this issue recently? Curious if this is just a recent build problem or something.
obviously can’t attach images but I do have a ton of test evidence to show this. Let me know if there’s something I might be missing to get the effects generating..
