goto delta time (question not issue)?

[macguffin]

Hi not really an issue just a question. Is there a way to jump to a specific time/delta. I'm looking in the AnimationState.js but can't see what to use.

Thanks

Something like that:

spine.state.tracks[0].time = ...
spine.state.update(0);

may be

spine.update(0)

I'm not sure :)

Thanks for the pointer. :)

spine.state.tracks[0].time is null in this animation. I've just cloned the repository so I will have a look round.

Do you have any idea what happens if animating on a crappy device, will frames be skipped?

I'm basically using events to drive other bits of code and and wondering if there is a possibility that these events could be missed, or skipped over.

The gotoAndStop(time or frame) would be a safety measure to force the animation to the correct frame when it has finished.

Thanks

Did you start the animation first?

state.setAnimationByName(0, "animation1", true);

[ivanpopelyshev]

Events wont be missed, that's for sure.

[macguffin]

That's great to know!

[macguffin]

I am starting the animation just not looping it

state.setAnimationByName(0, "animation1", false);

[ivanpopelyshev]

When animation is complete, tracks[0] will dissappear. Are you sure that tracks[0] is defined when you do that thing with time?

[macguffin]

Ok that will be what it is.

I think maybe I'm being over cautious. If events will definitely fire and the animation will always show its final frame that should be enough.

When I used another spine runtime with createjs in the past I had an issue with a frame not being shown correctly when stopping the animation. I would have to manually set the delta time to be sure. I haven't had anything like that with your stuff.

Thanks for your help and your time.
BTW do you have an official forum for these sorts of questions?

Posting the issue here is fastest way of finding solution for your problem :)

Thanks

Last question I promise :)

Can you pause the animation via an event?
Is there something that would do the equivalent of:

spine.state.pause();

[ivanpopelyshev]

spine.autoUpdate = false;

stops all animations.

You can update them manually by using

spine.update(dt); //dt is in millis

Awesome thanks very much that is just what I need.
