You just have to position them and hide and show them.

clone/instance object

The fastest code is the code never written.

Thanks guys! But I have little problem. My game created by dbPasteSprite. So, it's not possible to use clone/instance objects... Maybe some one knows better way to make this through 3d plains?

Then you will have to rewrite your game to use 3D.

You can draw 3D objects to plains and then use the plains like sprites but you can't paste the plain. As someone said, you can just show/hide the plains.

You have a camera which just views the object(mask everything else), then set camera to image, texture plain with image. You will need to use transparency, set the camera backdrop to black and set transparency on the plain, this part I'm not certain about.

The sprites are implemented as 3D plains as I understant it.
However they're locked to their own rendering pipeline and you have less control over them. I also believe they are a bit slower (no idea why) than emulating sprites with 3d plains facing the camera yourself. Your biggest problem would be positioning them at an appropriate distance from the camera to make them have their correct pixel sizes on screen.

As for showing / hiding the plains, I'm not sure, it might be referring to how you could have your "real" (3D) camera fixed in place and implement your own 2D camera system by shuffling all sprites positions and then hiding the ones that end up outside the screen to speed things up (although excluding would be more efficient for that).

As I just said you can easily do it yourself.

Also billboarding is more for 3D environments where you fake far-away objects by replacing them with a flat plain having a texture picturing the 3D object.
