sprite_set_nineslice

This function is used to apply a Nine Slice struct to a sprite. You supply the sprite index and the Nine Slice struct to apply, which can be retrieved using sprite_nineslice_create() or sprite_get_nineslice().

NOTE This function affects the sprite asset so any changes you make with this function will affect all instances that are using this sprite and all future instances too. 

Syntax:

sprite_set_nineslice(ind, nineslice);

Returns:

N/A

Example:

var _nineslice = sprite_nineslice_create();

_nineslice.enabled = true;
_nineslice.left = 10;
_nineslice.right = 10;
_nineslice.top = 10;
_nineslice.bottom = 10;

sprite_set_nineslice(spr_box_0, _nineslice);

The code above creates a new Nine Slice struct, enables it and sets the offsets for the guides. The struct is then applied to a sprite, changing its Nine Slice properties.
