How to use TGA Sprite Sheets in WoW

World of Warcraft's interface doesn't natively support animated GIFs. Instead, developers use a technique called "sprite sheets". This converter takes every frame of your animated GIF and places them into a grid within a single TGA image file.

  1. Upload your GIF and select a grid size (e.g., 5x5 for 25 frames).
  2. Download the generated TGA file and place it in your Addon directory.
  3. In your Lua code, create a Texture and use SetTexture with your TGA.
  4. Use SetTexCoord combined with an OnUpdate script or AnimationGroup to cycle through the grid coordinates.
