Actionparts Documentation

All available actionparts are listed here. Each actionpart is stored as one object in the ActionPart table of the Visionaire Data Structure. The 'constant number' is the number which is stored in the field ActionPartCommand and defines the actionpart. Each actionpart can have a maximum of two links, three numbers and one file path. This document shows which fields are used for which actionpart. If there is a link to a scene or a character (in ActionPartLink or ActionPartAltLink) and the link is empty then the current scene/character is used.
