Problem with Animation Blending when Animation is Looped

Eatos

Hello All,
I am a developer from one company (currently dont want to say name) and we are developing Point & Click Adventure in Unity.
So far we have been using Spine for our animation and i can say it is really impressive what this magnificent tool can do.
But saddly we have run on some problems which i currently dont know how to solve.
The problem is with blending two animations when first one is looped.

Here is the example and full situation explanation:

And when i want to play next animation "action" with using Mix (blending) it just stucks if i dont press it within duration of first loop time.

I have investigated a little bit what happens and found out that:
current.lastTime -> when animation is looped with have total elapsed time since it started playing, which means if has passed 3 loops and animation duration is 6s it will have roughly 18s passed instead of 6s.

Next thing i notice that due that

next.time = current.lastTime - next.delay;
if (next.time >= 0) {
   SetCurrent(i, next);
}

Is when calculating here for blending, it will get it should blend no matter what delay was and it will automatically start doing it, just it doesnt do visually anything :/

Our development team is experiencing this exact same problem with spine-cocos2d. When the screen loads, we are looping an idle animation using "setAnimation" and when we call "addAnimation" to play the next action it gets stuck just as @Eatos described previously.

Is this issue currently being addressed?
Is there a workaround that has been found?

Thanks.

I have solved this by using Unity mecanim in combination with Spine.
In Unity mecanim i have created triggers for state changes and it works much better than using .AddAnimation

Thanks Eatos. We are using cocos2d but I get the approach, I will try it out. I still find it odd that core functionality such as addAnimation has a flaw such as this.
