Sorting issue.

TobyWils

I'm using spine editor 3.8.99 and the latest run-times and I have this issue where the sorting is wrong at run-time but correct in the editor.

I have a character that has a front and right stand and when I do stand right his arm is sorted under is jacket. It works ok in the editor.

What could I possible not being doing right at run-time?

I forgot the mention that I'm using the spine-cpp run-times I got from github.

Hard to say. The skeleton rendering is pretty straightforward: for each slot in the draw order, get the slot's attachment, if any, and draw it. Unless you iterate the slots in reverse or randomly 😃 I'd expect them to be drawn in the right order. You could check the order by printing the name of each slot.

Maybe the problem is in the way you draw? Are you using the painter's algorithm? If you are doing some batching, maybe that loses the order?

The entire spine character is drawn in one call, but it should be loaded in the order they are to be drawn, but that is something to investigate.

It seems to only happen when changing animation and a bone switches sort based on the animation. For example, the arm is sorted below the coat when forward and behind the coat when right.

OK, figured this out. I was building the render mesh once and I need to do it every frame. Thanks for the tip-off.
