[Unity] Set the animation time?

SullyTheStrange

I'm looking for a way to directly set the current time of an animation, but I can't seem to find anything. Specifically I want to place it at the very end of the animation for a certain special case... I could also just take that final frame and make a separate single-frame animation, but where's the fun in that? :p

It's not something I have done myself so I can't give you exact guidelines for it, but I believe you can increment the delta for that specific animation and apply it to the time. Please take a look at http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-using ... animations
Nate or Pharan will probably know how to do it and can give you better help than me.

Sorry, remind me what runtime you use again? :p

I'm wondering if you can use Animation::Apply for your purpose.

Ah, TK2D.

Hello, Spine-C# friend. XD

What you might want to do is keep a reference to the Spine.Animation you want. Let's say you store it as mySpineAnimation. And that you also store a reference to the Spine.Skeleton as mySkeleton
Then say:

mySpineAnimation.Apply(mySkeleton, 0, durationOfTheAnimation, false, null);

What this does is pose the skeleton at the time of durationOfTheAnimation. You can probably get durationOfTheAnimation from mySpineAnimation.duration.
The null at the end makes it ignore events.

The other option is to just say:

(skeletonAnimtion.state.SetAnimation(0, mySpineAnimation, false)).time = durationOfTheAnimation;

I'm not sure about that second one though. It might just cause the animation to not be applied at all. But that's how you would play an animation starting from a certain point in time. SetAnimation returns a TrackEntry object you can modify immediately after setting an animation. For more info on what info TrackEntry has, check the code of AnimationState.cs
