The outline FX doesn't show properly.
Outline use to work on transparency and, for a better result, have empty extra canvas, in order to work correctly. By extra canvas we mean, to enlarge the sprite up down left and right.
Can I have two 2DxFX effects on one of my sprites and use the animator to change between the two or change which one is on for different states?
Yes, you can change between effect, but you can’t use 2 effects a the same time.

With the Shine effect, you can manipulate the curve of the effect, you can for example, add a delay on the beging or at the end, or do whatever you want.
I would like to upgrade to the new version but I am not sure how to do so.
You need to login with your Unity account to the asset store and go to the asset page, you will see a « upgrade » button.
How can I select a color on my sprite using the Color Change ?
If you want to change the skin color, select the skin color (select color),choice the tolerance level (Tolerance) and change the HUE. You should select the color and fix the tolerance of the color, to 0.05 or 0.1
After adding one of the scripts of 2DxFX to a GameObject, for exemple the 2dx FX_Energy Bar, how do I do to invoke a variable EnergyBar through an other script so that I can decrement it's value.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class TestInput : MonoBehaviour
{
public _2dxFX_EnergyBar Progres;
public float bar;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
Progres.BarProgress = bar;
}
}

Do the Canvas UI work ?
Yes, the Unity canvas UI Image work great with the Standard FX. Canvas UI Image do not work with the advanced lightning (There is no light support by Unity on the Canvas UI)
However, how do i make a sharedmaterial? To create a new material
- Step 1: Share A material and save draw calls, select your new material that you have manualy created on your project.
- Step 2: Active the change material property. The change material property will be your master change material. All the change will be made in this gameobject
- Step 3: Create or duplicate an object and desactive the change material property ( you don't need it because you will use the master change material gameobject for the modification)
- In other words, the master change material will change all the shared material FX with the same Material name. Useful and save lots of drawcalls !
