So, the main difference is that this one was made for Sprite, which you can choose the animation which will be created, another difference is that you can choose the directions in which the objects will be created like in the example I sent, like "top-left, bottom -left, center, top-center, bottom-center". I created it because I needed to create specific objects for an animation Sprite and when I changed the animation of the object, they changed all of them. So I decided to make this extension for that, as I said in particular for Sprite (animation).

There is a new parameter type that allows extension users to apply actions to created objects:

I think it would make more sense to modify the following extension, so I'm closing this PR:
