  • Accessing Slot to change color from c# script

I'm relatively new to programming.

I'm using the spine skeleton animator (mecanim) to manage my animations.

I'd like to access a slot to change its color properties, but I'm not sure how. I've looked up examples online but all of them involve getting a reference to SkeletonAnimation, but I'm not using skeletonanimation. I'm using skeletonanimator. Because of this, I'm not sure how to get a reference that can be used to drill down to the slot.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you 🙂

That would be:

Spine.Slot slotYouWant = GetComponent<SkeletonAnimator>().Skeleton.FindSlot("name of slot you want");

It's the same as in SkeletonAnimation.
This is because they both inherit from SkeletonRenderer, and also both implement the ISkeletonComponent interface which gives it a Skeleton property.

If you're new to programming, I recommend Unity's official tutorials on scripting too.

That's the problem, though, the SkeletonAnimator namespace doesn't exist. It won't let me write this, even though I do have a skeletonanimator attached to the object.

You need to add the Spine namespace usings on top of your script.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

// Add these
using Spine;
using Spine.Unity;

Looking good! Glad you got it working.
