Event in frame 0

Count0

Seems like events aren't triggered in frame 0. Is this by design, or a bug?

We often trigger 1 frame animations with events attached to them.. they seem to work for us, care to explain a little more?

Sure. Try these steps to reproduce what I mean.
1) "New Project"
2) Create an event
3) Switch to "animate"
4) Insert the event at frame 1
5) Play animation and notice that the event is correctly triggered
6) Move the event to frame 0
7) Play the animation and notice that the event is not triggered

Oh, I see... you mean the text doesn't pop up. That's because it only triggers the text when entering the frame, if you had the animation on loop it would show the text.

I'm using events to trigger sound effects and it seems so arbitrary that, in my non-looping animation, it works fine on frame 1 but not on frame 0. 🙁

Spine supports sound now? when did this happen?

If you mean, in game, the event still triggers (C runtime( + unity iirc)

Spine doesn't support sound sorry.

Most people use events to trigger playing back sound effects.

The javascript runtime doesn't... 🙁

Hmm. I've fixed this in Spine for 2.1.17. Fixing in the runtimes now! Some work correctly, some don't.

Actually it seems only spine-libgdx had a problem. Events on frame zero should fire for spine-js (lastTime starts at -1).

I misread what you wrote as being the opposite of what you wrote, hence the late reply.

But no... It doesn't work for spine-js. Currently my work around is to have a script to change my json data and make all events on time 0 to be 0.0001 instead.
