Which GUI node can control the display of a sprite sheet by set current frame like Sprite2D, I have a Sprite Sheet, each frame is an item icon, change the icon by changing the current frame, or do I want to use a Control node with a Sprite2D?

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking here. Are you looking to use a Control node type as if it was a Node2D? If so then extending a ColorRect and giving it a custom shader might do in visual terms. How well that might work in combination with collision shapes and such tho I'm not sure since I haven't really experimented with that.

    011eh changed the title to GUI node to display the Sprite sheet frame .

    Megalomaniak I apologize my question was not clear，I have an item icon sprite sheet, I want to find a GUI node that can set a current frame like Sprite2D to control the display of the sprite sheet, for the purpose of displaying an item icon, or use Control Node with Sprite2D?

        011eh Well, a ColorRect with a custom shader might do. A TextureRect might work too, though I don't think it can really use a spritesheet like a Sprite2D node would, but again I guess a custom shader might resolve that. Or you could just try using a Sprite2D or AnimatedSprite2D node itself. I think that can work, been a while tho since I've tried anything like that mixing Control and Node2D's like that.

        Alas, I'm using an arch based linux distro and because of a system library bug can't currently run godot 4 to double check.

          Hey mate,

          Very late to the party but here is an example in case anyone else is struggling. Using this DynamicTextureRect class, you can add an array of labels and an array of textures. Calling the included function will update the texture dynamically.

          class_name DynamicTectureRect extends TextureRect

@export var TextureLabels : Array[String]`
@export var TextureList : Array[Texture]`

func set_dynamic_texture(label: String) -> bool: 
	for i in min(TextureLabels.size(), TextureList.size()):
		if TextureLabels[i] == label:
			texture = TextureList[i]
			return true
	return false

          This works well enough for my code. You could adapt this, or set every Texture to be a new frame.

          I'd use a TextureRect, then for the Texture I'd add a new AtlasTexture and use that, it's pretty similar, just uses coords instead of frames...
