I have difficulties integrating Spine
So far I've tried both Spine integration that are in the Integration category:
https://adventure-creator.fandom.com/wiki/Spine_and_Adventure_Creator
This one has trouble playing non loopable animations. As soon as I want to play an animation that should not loop and I toggle the wait till finish it breaks. I tried to adjust but it was not working.
So instead I went with the more popular integration:
https://adventure-creator.fandom.com/wiki/Spine_Integration
Which works well with play till finish, but I can't seem to use it for movement.
In my SkeletonData I have animations like:
Idle_U, Idle_D, Idle_R, Idle_L, Walk_*, Run_*, I've made sure that the names in the Standard 2D Animation matches Idle, Walk and Run. I have four facing direction enabled.
But when I try to hit play I get the error that Animation not found: Idle. Not Idle_D, Idle_U or whatever, simply Idle.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I have tried to debug it and up till a point I was getting _U in the AnimEngine_spine, but then when I was calling DirectionMapper.PlayClip the clip had only "Idle" in it.
I'm not sure what could be the problem.
Howdy, Stranger!

I'm not the integration's author, but the directional suffix being removed by the time it gets to DirectionMapper sounds correct.
From what I understand, unlike AC's Sprites Unity mode, this system involves using a seperate "Skeleton Data Asset" for each direction a character can face. Each asset would have just Idle / Walk / Run animations, and it's this asset that gets swapped out based on direction.
I see. So basically I need to have 4 different Skeleton data for each side not one that contains all sides? I should have something like SkeletonDataAsset_L and there I have just Idle/Walk/Run and so on. Not SkeletonDataAsset and there have Idle_L,Idle_R,Idle_U,Idle_D ?
Yes, that's right - it's a different way of working to the regular "Sprites Unity" animation engine.
I believe the logic behind it is that different directions may have different skeletons / bone setup, as body parts are displayed/arranged differently, but will be shared by each animation in that direction.
