True or False: To animate using a sprite sheet, it must be set to 'Multiple'.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Depends on the pipeline
• D. Only if using the 2D Animation package

Answer: (B)

When you want to animate with a sprite sheet in Unity, you need to treat the sheet as containing multiple individual sprites, not a single image. Setting the texture’s Sprite Mode to Multiple tells Unity to split the sheet into separate Sprites so you can use each frame as a step in an animation. Without this, Unity sees only one sprite and there’s no way to define successive frames to play in a timeline.

That’s why the statement is true: you must set the sprite to Multiple to enable slicing and create a frame sequence for animation. It isn’t about a particular pipeline or the 2D Animation package—the basic workflow requires Multiple so the Sprite Editor can generate the individual frames, which you then order into an Animation Clip.
