animationStart Assistance

Good Evening!

When my player begins the walking animation, I want it to start halfway through the animation. animationStart seemed perfect for this. Though, even though I reviewed the documentation, I can't seem to get this right! :tear:

I was under the impression OnSpineAnimationStart is called anytime a new animation begins, but it doesn't seem to be executing.

public void OnSpineAnimationStart(TrackEntry trackEntry)
    {
        if( trackEntry.TrackIndex == 1) // walking set to 1
        trackEntry.AnimationStart = .3f;
    }

Any help would be great appreciated 🙂

Did you register the method for the start event like the following?:

skeletonAnimation.AnimationState.Start += OnSpineAnimationStart;

If you are not sure where to put the above code, please see the code example in the following sections of the spine-unity documentation:
spine-unity Runtime Documentation: Processing AnimationState Events

Oh, whoops, that's exactly what the issue was. I did not register the method in the start event. :bigeye:
Thank you, Misaki! :grinteeth:

Though, I do have another question. Is there anyway to make this happen only one time?
For example: My walk animation loops. So, the first time, I want it to star half-way through the animation, but after, I want it to start at the beginning or 0 for the next loop. :think:

You can play the walk animation with loop: false at first and add the walk animation again with loop: true like this:

var trackEntry = skeletonAnimation.AnimationState.SetAnimation(0, "walk", false);
trackEntry.AnimationStart = 0.3f;
skeletonAnimation.AnimationState.AddAnimation(0, "walk", true, 0);

This worked great. Thanks! 8)
