trackEntry.animation

Type: string

See also: trackEntry

Overview:

---

The animation attribute provides the name of the animation currently assigned to the specified track. This allows you to retrieve or verify which animation is playing on a particular track, facilitating dynamic animation management and debugging.

Example:

---

local lastTime = system.getTimer()

local spine = require("plugin.spine")
local atlas = spine.loadAtlas("assets/characters/hero.atlas")
local skeletonData = spine.loadSkeletonData("assets/characters/hero.skel", atlas)
local hero = spine.create(skeletonData)

-- Set the "run" animation on track 1 at normal speed
hero:setAnimation(1, "run", true)

-- Retrieve the name of the current animation on track 1
local currentAnimation = hero.tracks[1].animation
print("Current Animation on Track 1:", currentAnimation)

-- Update function using system.getTimer()
local function onEnterFrame(event)
    local time = system.getTimer()
    local dt = time - lastTime
    lastTime = time

    hero:updateState(dt)
    hero:draw()
end

Runtime:addEventListener("enterFrame", onEnterFrame)
