Hello!
I am working on a player avatar that can have multiple skins.
For simplicity let's say I have 3 slots:
The body slot is for changing skin colors, the hair slot is for changing hair colors and styles! : )
When my avatar has long hair I need to use both hair slots:
- 'HairFront' goes in front of the Body
- 'HairRear' goes behind the Body
But when my avatar has short hair I only need to use one hair slot:
- 'HairFront' for my art covering the scalp
I suppose if I had a completely shaved head with a topknot I would only need to use:
- 'HairRear' for the topknot that appears behind the scalp
In this case is it okay if I just leave the unused slot empty? In Spine I get the orange 'MISSING IMAGE' icon, but is this okay for my game? Or will this create errors?
How is the best way to handle a situation where I have a slot, but a skin doesn't have any art that gets used in that slot? Any help would be appreciated. 🙂 Thanks!
Bump. Still needing help with this. I guess I'll carry on and hope that having missing images wont be a problem for my project. But if anyone has some advice I'd be very grateful. : )
