skeleton.timeScale

Type: number

See also: skeleton

Overview

The timeScale attribute globally adjusts the playback speed of all animations for this skeleton. Setting timeScale to 2 doubles the speed, while 0.5 halves it, etc.

If you want to adjust the speed of a single trackEntry or animation, see trackEntry.timeScale.

Note

timeScale does not scale Spine physics constraints: they keep running at real time. To slow down, speed up or pause physics, see skeleton.physicsTimeScale.

Example

local lastTime = system.getTimer()

local spine = require("plugin.spine43")
local atlas = spine.loadAtlas("spineboy.atlas")
local skeletonData = spine.loadSkeletonData("spineboy.skel", atlas)
local spineboy = spine.create(skeletonData)

-- Set the skeleton to half-speed
spineboy.timeScale = 0.5

local function onEnterFrame(event)
    local now = system.getTimer()
    local dt = now - lastTime
    lastTime = now

    spineboy:updateState(dt)
    spineboy:draw()
end
