Change Attachment in Code

kingbeful

Hey,

I want to change the character's weapon, so I use the code below:

skeletonNode:setAttachment('Wuqi01','wuqi05')

'Wuqi01' is the slot name while 'wuqi05' is the attachment name, but it does not work as I want.

I've tried the same code in goblins-ffd, it worked fine for me (I changed the weapon from spear to dagger)

And I notice the difference between my character and goblins-ffd is my character has many placeholders in the slot.

Is this why I can't change the attachment in code?

That should work, which runtime are you using ?

I'm using the latest runtime 'spine-cocos2dx' from github, and export some of the c++ functions to lua functions, so that I can invoke the api from my lua code.

unfortunately c++ is completely alien for me, you'll have to wait for Nate to get back from his vacation which is in about a week from now. Sorry 🙁

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the fact that it's not working but you should keep a standard when capitalizing. What I mean is when you look at your image some weapons start with a lower case "w" while another starts with an upper case "W". And I don't really think you need a skin for every attachment, or do you for some reason??

Sorry musbah, I don't understand you about 'I don't really think you need a skin for every attachment', would you explain to me?
The reason why I want to change the attachment is our character need to change weapon/armor in the game. And I've tested the way to make it work with goblins-ffd using the code above. But the file from our art man can't do work.
And I try to figure out the reason.
I searched in the forum, seems these files are imported by the photoshop script.

'Wuqi01' is the slot name while 'wuqi05' is the attachment name

Look at the icons in the screenshot you posted. Wuqi01 is the Slot Name and the Skin Name. "wuqi05" is also a Skin. Instead of making new skins, you should simply add each image to the original Slot.

I think I know what U mean. The item you named it 'skin' is actually called placeholders in Spine, but I don't know where it from. I just guess it created by the script in photoshop. In my first post, I said

I notice the difference between my character and goblins-ffd is my character has many placeholders in the slot.

And I guess that's why the change attachment un-work. If it is caused by the placeholders, is there a way to remove it automatically?

Ahh I see what you mean heh.

Now I'm curious too whats causing your problem 🙂

Would you be able to send me your project?

kingbeful

Hey Mitch,

Sorry for the late reply. I'm so busy these days. Would you give me an Email address ? And I can send you the project, as I don't want to everyone can get the project by downloading the attachment.

Mitch

I PM'd you my contact details.

the project is mailed to you 🙂

Your code should work. Make sure to do it after you set the skin.

Mitch

Got it.

You are setting Attachment keys in the animation data. It is overriding any attachment set with code.

I'm not sure which Runtime you're using*, but I am emailing you a Unity3D project with a debug script I wrote so you can see this happen.

Hope that helps!

*I'm an idiot. Sorry hahah, already did Unity stuff.

Nate

In the future we'll likely change the runtimes to only apply the attachment changes once when the animation time passes the attachment key time.

Was definitely on my "Make Nate do it later" for when you get back heh.

Hello Mitch,

My runtime is cocos2dx, but it also works for me.

You help has great meaning for me. Thank you. 🙂
