Hi, are there any examples of spine starling hit box detection? I'm trying to detect when my ninja's bounding box collides with an enemy sword bounding box. I'm new to this stuff. :coffee:

I ended up just not using Spine's built in bounding box features and instead just used Starling's 'getBounds' method and quads.

IMO, Spine is first and foremost for animation. I'd push it to say it's animation plus letting the programmer know what's happening in the animation (ie, when a sound should play. Where a body part visually is. What things can be clicked).

Right now, bounding boxes can already have names attached to them. That means you can already tell bounding boxes apart from each other. So it's not really true that they can "only be used for one thing".

Attaching semantic tags to bounding boxes wouldn't change much. You'd still need to do the same things: Collect bounding boxes separately based on their labels. Attach different functionality to them.

Best of luck implementing your hitboxes and hurtboxes though.

You wouldn't happen to know how to retrieve hitbox names in the spine-starling runtime would you?

Thanks BinaryCats. I can control the speed of the spine skeleton animation "heroWalking" by doing:
"heroWalking.timeScale = .5;" but "heroWalking.timeScale = -1;" just freezes the animation.

Here's Spine's explanation. http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-using-runtimes#Applying-animations

Still trying to figure out how to implement it in the Starling Spine runtime.

Hi Bali33,
Where you able to figure out how to get the bounding box data from spine starling runtime? I'm willing to send you $20 if you can help me figure it out.

Can't you just set events in your spine animations to know what state they are in so you can then take appropriate action?

Spine events: http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-events

Here's how you can detect the event named 'walk_animation_end':

_skeleton.state.onEvent.add(function (trackIndex:int, event:spine.Event) : void {
            if(event.data.name=="walk_animation_end")
                                {
               trace("walk animation has ended");
            }
         });

try check your Main.swf, is it even exist?
i'm new in Spine too, but from example i just watch every command in every line, and write it line by line in my own project. and it's work.

maybe you want to read this too

The example at: http://kaliko.com/blog/how-to-use-spine-with-starling-as3/ has been updated and now it works. Thanks.

Is it possible to play an animation in reverse using the starling runtime?

Hello,
You wouldn't have any pointers on how to detect bounding box collision using spine starling runtime would you?
Thanks,

Angelo

Oh ok.

Thanks, and goodluck

Hey PhilippH,

Do you know how to detect bounding box collision using spine and starling?

I think this is the correct link: https://github.com/nitrobin/spinehx/blob/master/src-base/spine-libgdx/test/com/esotericsoftware/spine/AnimationStateTest.java

or maybe it's this one:
https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/blob/master/spine-libgdx/spine-libgdx-tests/src/com/esotericsoftware/spine/SimpleTest2.java

A Starling example would be nice.

Thanks!

Hi, you just have to create a new animation and give it a name. Then you can create multiple animations per skeleton.

Thanks, but how do you do that exactly?

Hi do you create multiple tiemlines for your animation tag. I see 'run' and 'jump' timelines inside the spineboy example json and I'm wondering how they are created.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm relatively new to ActionScript, Starling and spine. I downloaded the example spine/starling project from gethub: https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/master/spine-starling
But can't seem to make it work.

I imported the project and created a path to the starling library, but I'm getting errors.

Error1: 'File not found: spine-runtimes-master/spine-starling/spine-starling-example1/bin-debug/Main.swf'

Are there some instructions I could follow perhaps? Is there anyone that can verify that the plugin is up to date and works?
