  • Animation event name -> invalid get index 'name' (on base: SpineEvent)

Hi everyone,

When I connect the animation_event signal in Godot like this:
func _on_animator_component_animation_event(spine_sprite, animation_state, track_entry, event)
I expect to be able to write print(event.name) as shown in this video.
However, the following error is thrown:

invalid get index 'name' (on base: SpineEvent)

Does that mean that 'name' is no longer a member of event, and that I have to rely on passing a string value in the event to replace the name instead?

Thanks in advance.

In the context of the spine-godot runtime documentation and the Spine Runtimes Guide, there's no direct mention of accessing an event's name through event.name in the provided contexts. However, the error message you're encountering, invalid get index 'name' (on base: SpineEvent), suggests that the SpineEvent object you're trying to access does not have a name property accessible in the way you're attempting.

Given the information available, it's possible that the API or the way SpineEvent properties are accessed in the spine-godot runtime might have changed, or there might be a specific method or property to access the event's name that isn't directly mentioned in the provided contexts.

To troubleshoot this issue, you might want to review the latest spine-godot documentation or the API reference for SpineEvent to see if there's a new or different way to access an event's name. Since I can't provide direct assistance on API changes without current documentation references, checking the latest runtime documentation or API reference for any updates or changes would be the best course of action.

The event doesn't have a name:

But the event data does:

My spine-godot-fu is weak, but something like:

print(event.get_data().get_event_name());

See:

    Nate Ah yes, this is it! Name is stored in the event data. I was looking for it in the API reference in the event class, but obviously couldn't find it there. Thanks!

    Well apart from the semicolon at the end of the line, you seem to be doing just fine 😃
