Mirroring an animation

Rosss

Hi folks,

so I have a spine character with a bunch of animations on her, i want to show her reflection in the mirror. The way i want to do this is by having another spine animated character and just copying wholesale the animation state from the first - if that's possible.

the line i'm trying in the update is not working.

skeletonAnimation.state = skeletonAnimationToReflect.state;

the blinking and the mouth are both off... i think they are both on different layers -
in order to blink i call
skeletonAnimation.state.AddAnimation(1,characterInformation.animBlink,false,0.0f);// .SetAnimation(1, "face_happy", true);

...any clues here?
or is there just a better way to do this?
Thanks!

The problem with this is that both skeletonAnimation and skeletonAnimationToReflect will Update and Apply the AnimationState object.
This means it's updated twice.
This also means the second skeleton will play ahead and they'll never be at the same state.

Solution:
Your reflection skeleton may just have to be a SkeletonRenderer.
And on the script controlling your reflection skeleton, you have to apply the source state yourself on Update

var skeleton = reflectionSkeletonRenderer.skeleton;
skeletonAnimationToReflect.state.Apply(skeleton);
skeleton.UpdateWorldTransform();

Note that AnimationState doesn't hold flip information so if you want to reflect flipping, you'll have to do that yourself.
