Playing animation without cross fade?

chrisoshea

I am currently playing an animation like this:
spineAnimationState.SetAnimation(0, runWestAnimationName, true);

between running left and right, the cross fade is making the legs (that flip rotation for left running) vanish during the fade. Is there a better way to animate those same leg bones going the other direction?

Can I play the animation without a cross fade / blend from the previous animation to the newly triggered one?

Thanks

chrisoshea As Spinebot mentioned, the mix duration setting is involved in animation crossfades. For a basic overview of mixing, please refer to the following section in the Spine Runtimes Guide:
Spine Runtimes Guide Applying Animations #Mix times

Also, note that when using the spine-unity runtime, you can pre-set the mix duration for specific animation combinations in the SkeletonDataAsset's Inspector. If you absolutely do not want mixing to occur for certain combinations, setting this here is the clearest and most straightforward approach:
spine-unity Runtime Documentation #Skeleton Data Asset - Mix Settings

To play an animation without crossfading, you can set the mix duration between animations to zero. This will prevent any blending and will immediately switch from one animation to the next. You can achieve this by setting the mix duration in your AnimationStateData:

AnimationStateData data = spineAnimationState.Data;
data.SetMix(runWestAnimationName, runEastAnimationName, 0);
data.SetMix(runEastAnimationName, runWestAnimationName, 0);

This configuration ensures that when you switch between the runWestAnimationName and runEastAnimationName, there will be no crossfade, and the transition will be instantaneous.
