  • BoneFollower connecting to SpriteRenderer

    英语

Hello.

Not long ago we received an interesting task, a banal change of skins.
But due to their diversity, namely the variety of colors, it is very difficult to make each part of the skins.

Therefore, we decided to try using regular SpriteRenderer objects and connecting them using the BoneFollower component.

But for some reason the sprites don’t follow the bones correctly, can you tell me if I’m doing something wrong?

Can you tell me a way to replace a separate section of the texture in Skeleton?

When using BoneFollower

    TheZero I know your question is about the BoneFollower component, but from what you want to do, you seem to be taking a rather roundabout approach to begin with. Spine skeletons can be tinted or have different materials applied to each slot in Unity. If you have not read the following section, you may want to read it first and consider how to modify your skeleton directly: spine-unity Runtime Documentation - Changing Materials Per Instance

    Even if you still want to use sprites that are not included in the texture atlas, it would be better to replace the slot attachments as shown in Spine Examples/Other Examples/Mix and Match Equip.
    This way you can reduce draw calls by collecting the images used in your skeleton and repackaging them into a single texture.

    I think it makes sense to use the BoneFollower component if you want a particle to follow a specific bone, or if you want an image that can be attached or detached (like picking up or dropping a weapon), but if you want to replace limbs or other parts that basically never leave the skeleton, it is better to replace the attachment in the slot or override the material per slot, as this should be less likely to cause drawing order problems and more manageable.

        Thank you, I saw how it works for you.

        And this option suits me, but I have a question.

        Do I understand correctly, in order to transfer the color that was configured in the inspector, you will need to go directly to the slot and change its color

          @TheZero Yes, you need to access the respective Slot of your skeleton and then set the desired color. You can have a look at the example script SkeletonColorInitialize in Spine Examples/Scripts/Sample Components. You can also preview and evaluate any Slot colors in Unity via the Skeleton Debug window, accessible at SkeletonAnimation in the Inspector via Advanced - Debug as can be seen at the bottom of this documentation section.

          Of course, you can also directly edit them in the Spine Editor to check the color results.
