Timeline UPM see animation when scrubbing the timeline?

SquaLLio

I finally got around to updating Unity runtime, and decided to include the Timeline UPM. Previously I was using signal emitters to trigger animations, and now with full support it's going to make cutscenes a breeze. I genuinely appreciate all the hard work you guys do in keeping up with all the new features Unity has been implementing. It must be overwhelming.

There's one issue, and I'm not sure if it's on my end, or intended.
I would like to be able to see the animation state track changes when scrubbing the timeline.
It's weird, sometimes it shows bits and pieces of it, and other times none at all.

Currently, the only way that I can see an accurate representation of the timeline is to enter run mode, but as you can imagine, that makes it difficult to fine tune.

Am I missing something here? (using latest runtimes and UPM)

Thanks very much for your kind words! We do our best to have all important Unity features supported, unfortunately it often takes longer than expected, so thanks very much for your patience!

Unfortunately, scrubbing is not yet working as desired, there is an issue for it on our roadmap:
[unity] Timeline multi-track scrubbing not working · #1313
The Timeline integration will receive some additional attention in the near future, so we will finally get to tackle this issue.
In the meantime, I fear that you will need to resort to verification via play mode, as you have described above.

We will let you know once the issue is fixed or at least improved.

Thanks for the information. I'm happy to know it's being tracked, and I will be sure to look on the roadmap first before posting.

Ran into another issue, and I'm sorry if this is obvious, but I'm pretty new to Unity, and game development in general.

When I try to build the project, Windows or Android, I'm getting errors related to the Timeline UPM. It confuses me because I thought scripts in an Editor folder didn't get added to the build list?

We are sorry for the trouble! The spine-timeline-editor.asmdef file for some reason did not have the Include platforms set to Editor only.

I have fixed this issue and re-uploaded new UPM timeline packages:
Spine Unity Download: Download

Thanks for reporting!

SquaLLio

Problem solved! Thanks again.

Harald

We can gladly announce that Timeline multi-track preview (multi-track scrubbing) in the Editor has finally arrived.
We have also added Timeline support for SkeletonGraphic.

The new 3.8 UPM package is available for download here as usual:
Spine Unity Download

Hope you like it! 8)

Awesome! Going to be great for cutscenes 😃 Thanks!
