Using sprites in 3D games

Development Rendering

I am creating a Topdown 2D RPG like EarthBound, Zelda, Undertale, all the greats. Unfortunately, UE4 seems to be incapable of rendering sprites in 3D, as when I tried to import one, It decided to say that UE4 does not recognize Uassets, the format boldEXCLUSIVE TO UNREAL ENGINE!!! How is it incompatible with its own files, and how can I add sprites to a 3D world.

It happened to me with a Material.

Then, I just copy and past it to my project folder and everything worked fine. Seems to be something with the “import” tool.

Thanks, I was so mad when I saw that. I’ll try again.

I managed to get the files in and do a quick debug, but for some reason my character’s flipbook doesn’t turn backwards when I walk left. I checked the 2D project to no avail. Any way to fix this prob?
