Sorry if this has been answered before, new to spine!

Ive looked at the documentation and see that I can indeed copy/paste, but not sure it is what I was looking for.

For background, I have an animation where I attack twice, once with each sword in each hand, and I was wondering if there was a way to copy these two parts of the animation and paste them so that I could have a total of four attacks, alternating each hand with every swing. This would save a bunch of time if its possible, rather than making transitions all over again.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

I think what you want to do can be achieved without any problem. You mean the animation which you have is an animation of both hands attacking at the same time, right? If so, you can easily create alternating movements by first keying the pose using the hotkey Ctrl + Shift + L or the Key shown button on the Dopesheet view at the end of the attack, then selecting the keys for one arm and shifting the timing. Once you achieve the alternating movement, you can duplicate the keys so that each hand attacks twice, you will have the animation you are looking for.

If the Key shown button is new for you, please see this section of the user guide:
Keys - Spine User Guide: Key shown

To shift the timing of keys, you can use box selection:

Sorry if this is not the information you are looking for. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

It was actually better than I was looking for! Looking flawless and more than I was hoping for. Thank you very much for the prompt response and documentation guides!

I'm glad to hear that! 😃 Thank you for getting back to us!
