Using Ghost renderer along with Separator

Guts

I was using a couple ghost renderers for my skeleton, but once I added a Skeleton Render Separator to the skeleton, the skeleton renderer on the ghost render object lost the reference to the skeleton data, and I'm not able to re-assign that reference. Are these two features unable to be used simultaneously, or is there some workaround I'm unaware of?

Unfortunately your GIF file seems to be missing.

In general the SkeletonGhost component is only an example component and does not guarantee compatibility with all combinations of features. Nevertheless I just had a quick try and found it almost working when attaching one SkeletonGhost component at each SkeletonPartsRenderer child GameObject. I assume it works completely when adjusting SkeletonGhost.cs as follows:

Remove [RequireComponent(typeof(SkeletonRenderer))]
In the line skeletonRenderer = GetComponent<SkeletonRenderer>(); replace GetComponent with GetComponentInParent

Ok, so I found what my issue was. My skeleton ghost component has manual inspector assignments for SkeletonRenderer, MeshRenderer, and MeshFilter (I keep the ghost on a different game object than the skeleton). Those were still pointing to the main parent skeleton. Once I updated those assignments to use one of the child "part" skeletons, it began working again. Thank you for the help Harald!

Glad to hear you've figured it out! 🙂
