FlxSpine scaling

[vleontiy]

Hello,
How to scale FlxSpine after it was initialiazed? As I understand "scale.set" does not work for it.
Thanks

Hey mate,

You can do it by something like this:

var root:Bone = skeleton.findBone("root");
		root.scaleX = 2;
		root.scaleY = 2;

You can also tweak any scale of any bones you want, to produce effects like this:

Code example:

                        var leftShoulder:Bone = spine.skeleton.findBone("arm_left");
			var rightShoulder:Bone = spine.skeleton.findBone("arm_right");
			var torso:Bone = spine.skeleton.findBone("torso");
			var head:Bone = spine.skeleton.findBone("head");
			
			leftShoulder.scaleX = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);			
			leftShoulder.scaleY = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);
			
			rightShoulder.scaleX = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);			
			rightShoulder.scaleY = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);
			
			torso.scaleX = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);	
			torso.scaleY = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);
			
			head.scaleX = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);			
			head.scaleY = FlxG.random.float(1.5, 0.5);	

I've been working hard on implementing a proper skeletal animation for my latest platformer, done in HaxeFlixel. Feel free to ask me anything!

Claudio, thanks a lot! Works perfect!
Also for some stupid reason I set key scale value for "root" in Spine animation and nothing worked :D I'm new to Spine and Haxeflixel as well.
Thanks again!

hey, no problem!

You mean you change the root bone scale, on Spine, and produces no visible effect in-game? Is weird, because it must work. It did, on my older tests.

Is the bone hierarchy correctly set up?

[vleontiy]

Don't worry, it worked well always! When I started animation scale changed to "1.00" again and again, because I set it in Spine for "root" bone in the first frame :D
I removed all key frames in "root" and everything works! Thanks!

Just noticed thing that disabling "Inrerit >> Scale" for any bone works in Spine and does not in the game. All child bones are scaling in the game according to their parent :(
