| |
| | '''Start action after animation has finished''': allows you link to a previously created action, which will be executed after the animation has finished playing; does not work for animations in the ''walk'', ''standing'', or ''talking'' animation sections.
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''Mirror following animation''': mirrors the linked animation, so you don't have to create individual animations for each direction; this will cause issues with Lua scripts that require access to character animations, or specific character animation frames.
