Hey guys

I saw that there are already a few topics regarding this issue here, but I couldn't find any answer to my problem.
I am having some issues with the drawing order on my animations when exporting the .json file to Unity.

On my most recent animations, I am trying to change the draw order of one asset to be behind everything. In Spine and on the Skeleton Viewer the animations are fine, with the draw order that I want. But once I go to Unity, the draw order is incorrect.

In one of the topics it was suggested to change the Spine version to 2.0, but when I do this, I can't even open my spine file.

We are developing our game on Unity 4.3.4 and the spine version we have is 2.1.27 Essential

thanks

Hello Takashi,

Sorry for the late reply.

I'll see if I can get Mitch to look into it. I believe he's already looking into something similar.

If you have a project and export you can share at contact@esotericsoftware.com that might be helpful.

Sorry for the trouble you've been having, we certainly don't want any bugs to ruin your development cycle.

Thanks for the reply!

I'll be waiting for updates regarding this subject!

I'll ask about sending you the project, because there are many NDAs that we are dealing with, so i'll send you if I can.

I had an opposite case of draw order being incorrectly rendered in SkeletonViewer but it behaving correctly in Spine editor and Spine-Unity.

My point: SkeletonViewer isn't reliable (in certain cases).

Either way, we can take a look at this if your spine skeleton if you're allowed. But yeah, we'll likely need your json file. No need to send the images. Let whoever you're asking permission from know. You could also replace all the image with colored rectangles or rectangles with numbers.

Hey folks,

I have the very same issue. My draw-order is ignored in unity runtime too. In Spine-Editor everything is fine and also the Unity-skeleton-view looks fine.

But once baked and used in mecanim the draw order is ignored completely. Even when no blending is applied. Just the simple animation.

To ensure that I don't mess up the animation with my game scripts I created a new test-unity-project and downloaded the newest spine runtime (2015-05-31: http://esotericsoftware.com/files/runtimes/unity/spine-unity.unitypackage).

I uploaded the unity-project as a zip file (https://www.dropbox.com/s/whquznm1eetnqgd/SpineOrderIssue.zip?dl=0). That way you can test my setup and see what is wrong. You can also find the spine-project-file and PSD in "<root>/Spine-Animation" folder.

Any help is appreciated (our evil witch tends to be less evil with sprite-order-issues 😉).

(Using Unity5 5.0.0f4, Windows 7)

You should know: Baking causes most of the features not to work, so that it's compatible without the Spine runtime. That's just a limitation of Unity.

Baking is a workaround for Spine runtime independence.
Unless you specifically want your assets to not need the Spine runtime for some strange reason, don't use Baking.

Damnit, Mitch. Let's get rid of that button.

Yea :/ I still think it's useful, I'm just going to put a big info box when you have the baking tab open

I think it's a handy feature.
But it's an optional feature and an advanced feature.
And I don't think it's a feature that should be more obvious/discoverable than the SkeletonAnimation/SkeletonAnimator options.

That big scary info box will help though.

Also technically there's nothing stopping me from baking the draw order keys heh, it just would be static in the draw order...you couldn't push it forward/back globally

Which property would you choose to key as the drawOrder key analog?

the renderer object. i'm just setting it statically when i create the GameObjects right now.
