Add pause and resume methods for Spine.

Cross posting GoodBoyDigital/pixi.js#763.

Not sure, however...

Currently this is done by clearing current tracks (pause) and then setting the previous state back (resume).

However there's probably a method to actually remove the animations play state as it's associated with the requestAnimationFrame (Pixi v3).

Any further notes on this? I want to pause my game and stop all motion, but don't want to iterate all entities and clear tracks/start animations every time I pause and resume.

I can implement that. You want to stop all spine animations, right?

[JaredSartin]

I would love to "stop" them and resume them, mid animation.

[ivanpopelyshev]

you can iterate and set "autoUpdate" to false for all of them. I'll add global autoUpdate flag

[ivanpopelyshev]

@JaredSartin can you build new version locally and test it, please? :)

//stop it
PIXI.spine.Spine.globalAutoUpdate = false;
//resume
PIXI.spine.Spine.globalAutoUpdate = true;

[JaredSartin]

From what I can tell - it works! Animations pause when I turn off autoupdate.

Nice! Then I can close it. Will reopen if something goes wrong.

Its 2024 , the only way to pause this that I found is this: import * as SpineRuntime from 'pixi-spine'; and then to pause modify this: SpineRuntime.settings.GLOBAL_AUTO_UPDATE = false;
