You can’t animate non-sprites, but if you could change the tiles in a tilemap after a set portion of time creating an animation. I can show an example, ive used it in lava/water animaitons before!

I tried the TilesXtra, but my game is really weird.

When I finish a level, the lava tilemaps don’t disappear and are shown in the next level.

How can I delete the animations when a level is finished?
