Hello,
Can I create characters with shooting functions with spine essential ?
And than using in Unity !
Thanks

Absolutely! Professional has more features, but it sounds like Essential can do what you need. While pro features are nice, they can also be distracting and cause some people to lose focus on the quality of their animations.

FWIW, here's an article that is all done with Essential:

Thanks Nate,
i cant`found any shooting example in your Link.
I search a example with bullet shooting. In time i use the skeleton-pro, this one has only fire on the weapon.
With spawn-bullets in unity is it OK. But can i solve this problem (bullets) only with spine possibilities ?

thanks Wolfgang

I'm not sure exactly what you need for shooting? You can make whatever animation you like and probably at runtime you grab a bone and use it's position and rotation to spawn a projectile. That code can look like this:
