Avoid unexpected inbetween frame

eng16vcu

I have animated my character which it have a lot of image in a slot to switch. So i do it in 30fps/s, and can't use any graph. But when i turn on interpolate at Playback panel of Spine or play preview animation at Unity, the program add some unexpected frames automatically. Our coder said that he has putted collider at everybone, but sometime the collider is far from the bone at some frame of animation, and it's belong to these unexpected inbetween frame. How can i limit the number of frame in Unity corresponding with the number of frame in Spine?

You can turn off the intermediate frames.

In editor: change the mix value to 0 in preview panel.

In unity: select the _SkeletonData.asset file. Change the "Mix Settings" in inspector. You may want to use the "Add Custom Mix" feature for fine tuning. Most time intermediate frames are helpful.

Thanks for answering, favoyang!

In general, what you want to change here is called MixDuration, which can also be described as transition time between animations.

Note that you can also programmatically override the MixDuration via code:
TrackEntry mixDuration

TrackEntry entry = skeletonAnimation.AnimationState.SetAnimation(0, anim, false); // or AddAnimation() respectively
entry.MixDuration = 0;

Note that there will be at least a single transition frame, if you want to get rid of it as well, you can add a call to

[above code]
skeletonAnimation.Update(0);

Can this method apply for a specific animation? Thanks for all your helpful answers.

It happen at a kick animation. Collider is marked by green circle and attach to corresponding bone. You can see that at this frame the colliders don't follow the bone (which are leg, thight and foot bone) at same time. So when the kick landing to enemy (view), interaction between foot collider and enemy collider doesn't happen.

You can of course apply this only when transitioning to a specific animation:

TrackEntry entry = skeletonAnimation.AnimationState.SetAnimation(0, anim, false); // or AddAnimation() respectively
if (anim == yourSpecificAnim) {
    entry.MixDuration = 0;
    skeletonAnimation.Update(0);
}

Did you apply the above code at the kick animation?

Glad to hear that, thanks for letting us know.
