Blog 2 :- Skeleton animation in Unity

Hey Guys, this blog is part of a series " Skeleton animation in Unity". In this i'll try to explain "how to play animations of spine objects in Unity".

For this make sure you have "spine-unity.unitypackage" plugin in your project.

It is assumed that you have already Instatntitated your spine object in Game Scene.

Step1: Create a script as "PlayerAnimations.cs" an apply it on Spine Character.

Step 2: Use following code :

We will play animations on Key press

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;public class PlayAnimation : MonoBehaviour

 {

//assign all spine animations of game character to string variables

stringidleAnimation="1IdleAnimation";

stringrunAnimation="2RunningAnimation";
stringjumpAnimation="3JumpingAnimation";
stringattackAnimation="4Attack";

SkeletonAnimationskeletonAnimation; //skeleton animation variable will used to call methods of SkeletonAnimation

voidStart()

{

//assign skeletonAnimation

skeletonAnimation=GetComponent<SkeletonAnimation>();

SetAnimation(idleAnimation,true);

}

//Function to set animations to spine character or we can set animation directly without making this function.

voidSetAnimation(stringanim,boolloop)
{
skeletonAnimation.state.SetAnimation(0,anim,loop);

}

voidUpdate()
{
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
SetAnimation(runAnimation,false);

 if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
SetAnimation(jumpAnimation,false);
 if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
SetAnimation(attackAnimation,false);
 if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.I))
SetAnimation(idleAnimation,false);

 }

}

Now you can play animations on key press of spine object.

Comment for suggestions.

Thank You !
