Spine AC Custom Action List - turn off and on my new Objects

jamesfootlight

Hi Chris,

Are you able to help me create a custom action list where I can call the attachment switch in Spine, where the string param would be the attachment name?

skeletonAnimation.skeleton.SetAttachment("weapon_one_handed", "weapons/grenade_bomb");

Apparently you can also use a component that changes the slot.

Please see screenshots here:

I have a similar script that you could help me adaptd, where you use a string to change the skin:

using UnityEngine;
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using UnityEditor;
#endif

namespace AC
{

    [System.Serializable]
    public class ActionSkinSetter : Action
    {

        public override ActionCategory Category { get { return ActionCategory.Character; }}
        public override string Title { get { return "Set skin"; }}

        public bool isPlayer;
        public Char character;
        public int _charID = 0;
        private Char runtimeCharacter;

        public string[] newSkinNames = new string[1] { "" };


        public override void AssignValues()
        {
            if (isPlayer)
            {
                runtimeCharacter = KickStarter.player;
            }
            else
            {
                runtimeCharacter = AssignFile<Char> (_charID, character);
            }
        }


        public override float Run ()
        {
            if (runtimeCharacter)
            {
                runtimeCharacter.GetComponent<SkinSetter> ().newSkinNames = newSkinNames;
            }
            isRunning = false;
            return 0f;
        }


        #if UNITY_EDITOR

        public override void ShowGUI ()
        {
            isPlayer = EditorGUILayout.Toggle ("Affect Player?", isPlayer);
            if (!isPlayer)
            {
                character = (Char) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Character:", character, typeof (Char), true);
                _charID = FieldToID <Char> (character, _charID);
                character = IDToField <Char> (character, _charID, true);
            }

            if (newSkinNames == null)
            {
                newSkinNames = new string[0];
            }
            int numSkins = newSkinNames.Length;
            numSkins = EditorGUILayout.DelayedIntField ("# of skins:", numSkins);
            if (newSkinNames.Length != numSkins)
            {
                string[] backup = new string[newSkinNames.Length];
                for (int i = 0; i < newSkinNames.Length; i++)
                {
                    backup[i] = newSkinNames[i];
                }
                newSkinNames = new string[numSkins];
                for (int i = 0; i < Mathf.Min (numSkins, backup.Length); i++)
                {
                    newSkinNames[i] = backup[i];
                }
            }

            for (int i = 0; i < newSkinNames.Length; i++)
            {
                newSkinNames[i] = EditorGUILayout.TextField ("Skin #" + i, newSkinNames[i]);
            }
        }

        #endif

    }

Awesome! thank you! Is it possible to set parameters for custom action scripts?

ChrisIceBox

Yes - see this tutorial.

jamesfootlight

Hi Chris, apologies for my ignorance but I’m getting confused (and therefore errors with the last part of the tutorial) do I just replace the GUI code in the above script with this?

override public void ShowGUI (List<ActionParameter> parameters)
{
parameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI
("GameObject to affect:", parameters, parameterID, ParameterType.GameObject);
if (parameterID >= 0)
{
constantID = 0;
objectToAffect = null;
}
else
{
objectToAffect = (GameObject) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField
("GameObject to affect:", objectToAffect, typeof (GameObject), true);

constantID = FieldToID (objectToAffect, constantID);
objectToAffect = IDToField (objectToAffect, constantID, true);
}
}

ChrisIceBox

No - the exact code you add is based on the fields you want to parameterise.

The code above is adapted from the previous tutorial.

To have a string parameter field override e.g. slotName with slotNameParameterID, replace:

slotName = EditorGUILayout.TextField ("Slot name:", slotName);

with:

slotNameParameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("Slot name:", parameters, slotNameParameterID, ParameterType.String);
if (slotNameParameterID < 0)
    slotName = EditorGUILayout.TextField ("Slot name:", slotName);

getting this error

ChrisIceBox

You need to declare slotNameParameterID as a variable, as covered by the tutorial:

using UnityEngine;
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using UnityEditor;
#endif
using Spine;
using Spine.Unity;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace AC
{

    [System.Serializable]
    public class ActionAttachmentSetter : Action
    {

        public override ActionCategory Category { get { return ActionCategory.Character; }}
        public override string Title { get { return "Set attachment"; }}

        public bool isPlayer;
        public Char character;
        public int _charID = 0;
        public int parameterID = -1;
        private Char runtimeCharacter;

        public string slotName, attachmentName;
        public int slotNameParameterID = -1;


        public override void AssignValues(List<ActionParameter> parameters)
        {
            runtimeCharacter = isPlayer ? KickStarter.player : AssignFile<Char> (_charID, character);
            slotName = AssignString (parameters, slotNameParameterID, slotName);
        }


        public override float Run ()
        {
            if (runtimeCharacter == null) return 0f;

            SkeletonAnimation skeletonAnimation = runtimeCharacter.GetComponentInChildren<SkeletonAnimation> ();
            if (skeletonAnimation == null) return 0f;

            Skeleton skeleton = skeletonAnimation.Skeleton;
            if (skeleton == null) return 0f;

            skeleton.SetAttachment (slotName, attachmentName);
            return 0f;
        }


        #if UNITY_EDITOR

        override public void ShowGUI (List<ActionParameter> parameters)
        {
            isPlayer = EditorGUILayout.Toggle ("Affect Player?", isPlayer);
            if (!isPlayer)
            {
                character = (Char) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Character:", character, typeof (Char), true);
                _charID = FieldToID <Char> (character, _charID);
                character = IDToField <Char> (character, _charID, true);
            }

            slotNameParameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("Slot name:", parameters, slotNameParameterID, ParameterType.String);
            if (slotNameParameterID < 0)
            slotName = EditorGUILayout.TextField ("Slot name:", slotName);
            attachmentName = EditorGUILayout.TextField ("Attachment name:", attachmentName);
        }

        #endif

    }

}

Thanks, there is a slight issue with this however, the slot name can stay the same but it is the attachment I need the parameter for, (or ideally both). However, I can only set a parameter for the slot name? Please see screenshots

You can parameterise any field in the same way - I'm trying to teach you with an example.

Make the same changes to your attachment field and you can parameterise that as well.

Add this to the AssignValues function:

attachmentName = AssignString (parameters, attachmentNameParameterID, attachmentName);

jamesfootlight

Popped that line in, but there must be something missing with my script overall, It only lets me put one parameter in for both, se screenshot:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hXwFGCTtYCH_SJXx0kFJxC_Im_d7QlGf?usp=share_link

ChrisIceBox

Replace:

attachmentNameParameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("Attachment name:", parameters, slotNameParameterID, ParameterType.String);

with:

attachmentNameParameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("Attachment name:", parameters, attachmentNameParameterID, ParameterType.String);
