Hello,

I'm currently working in a team on a top down 2D arena brawler. Our designer decided to use Spine for the characters' animations. We currently got idle and run animations for 8 directions. Each direction has it's own file. The idle and run animations use different textures/attachment (as far as I know). Whenever the character's movement changes I switch the current DrawableSkeleton and set the animation to running or idle by calling AnimationState_setAnimationByName.

When I start the game and the idle animation is played everything looks fine:
Loading Image

I start running and it still looks as expected:
Loading Image

But then if I stop running the idle animation is wrong:
Loading Image

The textures don't change back and the render order seems to be wrong. Any clue to why this is?

This is how I load animations:

void TextureManager::loadAnimation(CharacterType type, Direction direction, const std::string& path)
{
   Atlas* atlas = Atlas_createFromFile((path + ".atlas").c_str(), 0);
   SkeletonJson* json = SkeletonJson_create(atlas);
   json->scale = 0.3f;
   SkeletonData* data = SkeletonJson_readSkeletonDataFile(json, (path + ".json").c_str());
   SkeletonJson_dispose(json);
   m_animations[Key(type, direction)] = new spine::SkeletonDrawable(data);
}

Updating with:

m_pDrawable->update(elapsedTime.asSeconds());

Changing animation/drawable:

m_pDrawable = m_pPlayer->getTexManager()->getAnimation(m_type, direction);
AnimationState_setAnimationByName(m_pDrawable->state, 0, "idle", true);
