Hello again!

Self explanatory subject here, I'm trying to access the current animation frame. I know it may be the simplest thing to do, but I don't know how. Halp?
I use c# for scripting and it would also be great if someone told me where to find an api or just a list of all the Spine runtime functions and their descriptions.

Cheers!

float currentTime = 0f;
int currentFrame = 0;

var currentTrack = mySkeletonAnimation.state.GetCurrent(0); // May be null if no animation is playing.
if (currentTrack != null) {
currentTime = currentTrack.time;
currentFrame = currentTime / 30f; // convert seconds to Spine editor dopesheet "frames". Spine doesn't actually use frames.
}

Thank you!

Any hint about Spine functions documentation?

Just some corrections to Pharan code here:

var currentTrack = skeletonAnimation.state.GetCurrent(0); // May be null if no animation is playing.

if (currentTrack != null)
{
currentTime = currentTrack.time;
currentFrame = Mathf.RoundToInt(currentTime * 30f); // convert seconds to Spine editor dopesheet "frames". Spine doesn't actually use frames.
if (currentFrame >= 3) startJump = true; //Here you can trigger things using currentFrame. Be aware that this is not precise, as the exact frame you aim for may have passed by the time you check it, thus the ">=".
}

I hope someone finds this useful

If you just wanted something to happen at a certain time, you could have used Spine Events.

Much cleaner.

I just saw your answer. I will check events asap, as they could be a great help for triggering hits in my game.
Thanks Pharan!

You can find a sample of C# event syntax here: https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/blob/master/spine-unity/Assets/Examples/Scripts/BasicPlatformerController.cs#L81
This is the script from the sample BasicPlatformerController scene.
