Hello I need help
I want to combine skins using a button click,
I can't figure out why the addSkin and findSkin are both underlined in red.
I'm really new to coding so any help will be appreciated. thanks

I think you just have the capitalization wrong, should be FindSkin (capital F) and AddSkin (capital A)

Hi Ericn, I tried changing the F and A to capital letters as you said but I still getting an error.
Maybe I'm still missing some codes for it.

Hello, Here's a video of my scene. What I want to do is to combine my Hat skins with my Eyeglasses skins. Can anyone help me with the code here's what I currently have.

Please see the spine-unity documentation section here on combining skins:
spine-unity Runtime Documentation: Combining Skins
Please also have a look at the example scene Spine Examples/Other Examples/Mix and Match Skins that comes with the spine-unity runtime.

In general it's much recommended to check out all example scenes and the spine-unity documentation page if you run into any problems:

Thanks Harald the code from the documentation you sent is working but it is not exactly working the way I need it.
I need the skins to work like in this example. Sorry I know this just simple but I only know very little about coding.

Please refer to Mix and Match Skins as Harald told you:

Screen Shot 2022-05-20 at 13.37.47.png

Select "Character (mix-and-match-pro)" GameObject to find the example script MixAndMatchSkinsExample.cs. As shown in the example script, not only the skin that has been changed, but also the skins that were already set up need to be added into the new skin to update the combination. For example, in your case, you would need the following code:

public class CombineSkins : MonoBehaviour
{
[SpineSkin] public string hat = "";
[SpineSkin] public string eyeglasses = "";
SkeletonAnimation skeletonAnimation;

void Awake () {
skeletonAnimation = this.GetComponent<SkeletonAnimation>();
}

public void Ace(){
hat = "HatAce";
UpdateSkin();
}

public void Circle(){
eyeglasses = "EyeglassesCircle";
UpdateSkin();
}

void UpdateSkin () {
var skeleton = skeletonAnimation.Skeleton;
var skeletonData = skeleton.Data;
var characterSkin = new Skin("character");
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(hat)) characterSkin.AddSkin(skeletonData.FindSkin(hat));
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(eyeglasses)) characterSkin.AddSkin(skeletonData.FindSkin(eyeglasses));
skeleton.SetSkin(characterSkin);
skeleton.SetSlotsToSetupPose();
}
}

The above code does only the bare minimum. In practice, it is better to repack the atlas textures with just the used attachments as in the MixAndMatchSkinsExample.cs, and note that it is written for clarity anyway. I am not very familiar with C#, so Harald may add more information later.

It worked!! thanks for the help guys specially Misaki for writing it

Hello again another noob question. The way of combining my skins is correct as what Misaki suggested but is it possible to work that way when I got a blank attachment in the scene. Here's a screen capture.

[Misaki]

While it is possible to skin a blank attachment, perhaps would you like to remove the added skin? If so, you can do that just by emptying the skin name String. If I were to add to the code I posted here before, I would add the following method:

public void RemoveHat(){
hat = "";
UpdateSkin();
}

public void RemoveEyeglasses(){
eyeglasses = "";
UpdateSkin();
}

Then add a button for each part that calls the corresponding method in the scene.
