Slots vs Skins

diazndc

I just bought spine, seems cool, I want to make a game where people can choose outfit, and I can change it via spine runtime.

Now im just learning to use spine, but I think I can archive this by creating a new slot pants and then inside of the slot multiple attachments.... pants_1 pants_2 etc...

Then I saw the skin feature which have a more appropriate name for what i'm trying to do, which one should I approach?

Welcome to the Spine world!

Probably you want to use skins:
Skins - Spine User Guide

Later today we will release 3.7.32-beta which has a Skins view that allows you to have multiple skins visible at the same time. This way you can have a skin for each piece of gear. This is helpful when a piece of gear is not a single attachment, eg a shirt might be made up of a torso piece and separate pieces for each arm.

Thanks for the quick reply @Nate , will it be a libGdx runtime version for this Beta release?
also will I be able to change skin color in runtime?

spine-libgdx for 3.7.xx-beta is in the beta branch.

Skins don't have color. Skins have attachments and attachments have color. You can change that at runtime, though remember all skeletons share the same attachments.
