runtime sprite swapping in animation possible with 4.3 2d?

I've got some animations in which I'd like to vary the base sprites being animated, swapping out multiple versions, different weapons, clothers, etc. Is this possible using the animator? Any ideas would rock!

Thanks,
Scott

 

I'd also be very interested in any advice on this topic. For example, I'd like to use the same animation for multiple sprite sheets. Thanks!

 

Yes, since sprites can be directly assigned to an animation clip, you can use animations made up of other sprites in your Mecanim network. So just create the animations for your other bases, and set up your conditions for when those should be used in Mecanim.

 

WHAT? =_= I always read these forums, and things are always answered with these strange explanations. Like any monkey could tell what you're saying, but nobody knows how to script it. And what on Earth is Mecanim? guess that's my next google search =_=
