Ase Tags

Overview

Extracts Aseprite animation tags (ranges such as idle and walk) as a List. Because tag names, frame ranges, and playback directions become data, you can automate range-based work such as processing only the walk frames.

Usage tips

• A practical workflow is to filter with list_filter, for example name == "walk", then use from_frame / to_frame to control the frame input of ase_frame_select.
• To inspect the tag structure, use list_get to view one item at a time.

Related nodes

• aseprite_load — supplies the document
• list_get / list_filter / list_map — process the tag data
• ase_frame_select — consumes the frame range

Read this first

• tags is a List<Map>, not text.
• You can therefore connect it directly to the P08/P09 nodes:
  • ListGet
  • ListMap
  • ListFilter

Contents of tags

Each tag is a Map with the following keys.

Basic workflow

AsepriteLoad
  -> AseTags
  -> ListGet

This selects one tag so you can inspect its contents.

Example

If the Aseprite document has two tags:

• idle
• walk

then tags conceptually contains:

[
  {
    "name": "idle",
    "from_frame": 0,
    "to_frame": 3,
    "direction": "forward",
    "repeat": 0
  },
  {
    "name": "walk",
    "from_frame": 4,
    "to_frame": 11,
    "direction": "forward",
    "repeat": 0
  }
]

When to use it

• To reference Aseprite tag data from the graph
• To retain only a specific tag with ListFilter
• To pass tag names or frame ranges to the UI or variants

Notes

• v1 only reads tag data.
• The tag range is from_frame..=to_frame, including both endpoints.
• Advanced workflows that edit and write tags back are planned for a later stage.
