I want to play the animation of UI's Spine Animations.(This UI is not a subtitle panel.)

when I put it into the game with normal Game Object, the SpineAnimation ( ); command works well. However, It does not work when it's on UI(with the SkeletonGraphic(Unity UI Canvas) component).

How can I play It's animations with the SpineAnimation(); command?

Hi,

I'll look into extending the SpineAnimation() sequencer command so it can also work with SkeletonGraphics.

Hi,

This updated package (which will also be in version 2.2.31) extends the SpineReferences component so you can assign a SkeletonGraphic and use it with the SpineAnimation() sequencer command.

Woooooow.... It works!!
Thank you always for your answer!

And Hi again,

Can I play the Spine Animations of the UI(Skeleton Graphic component contained)with the Skeleton Mechanim and Animation Controller?
I tried with AnimationPlay(); and AnimationTrigger(); Sequence commands, but they didn't work.

My problem is already solved, but I am curious about that.

If your Spine character uses a regular Mecanim animator controller, you should be able to use AnimatorPlay(), AnimatorPlayWait(), AnimatorTrigger(), etc., on it.

Ah, When I attach the "Skeleton Graphic component" and "Animator component" on UI game object, and place it on the Canvas, then the AnimationPlay();... etc. commands not works.

It works when I remove "Skeleton Graphic component" and move it to out of the Canvas.
However, the Animation Controller appears that the Animation is playing(Please look at the image).

That makes sense. SkeletonMecanim is the version of the Spine character that can be controlled by a Mecanim Animator. You wouldn't also want a SkeletonGraphic version on the same GameObject.
