This library provides functions that aid cinematic/cut-scene creation and functions for handling events.

The Animate library is somewhat complex, so this section explains how scripts using the Animate library are supposed to look like and how the functions interact.

Also, if your script calls `SetInputMask`, you *must* replace each call of it with `AnimSetInputMask` (see function description below). Failing to do so may lead to bugs.

The step is the primary data structure of this library. A step is a single action in an animation specified in table form. A step table must have the following fields:

 * `func` is the function to be executed. It can be any function that returns false when it needs to be called again in following game ticks (e.g. `AnimMove`). It could theoretically be any function, but usually you want to use one of the cinematic functions here.

The Animation library has two states: *Animating* and *Not Animating*. By default, the game starts in the *Not Animating* state, meaning the game behaves normally. In *Animating* state, the library looks at the list of registered animations and executes them one by one, in that order.

You are expected to add to the list of animatinons with `AddAnim`. If the script is animating, this animation will be played after all the others have been played. If the script is not animating, the animation will be played immediately. (Assuming you have correctly added the boilerplate code mentioned at the beginning of this page.)

Animations are basically cut scenes. During animation, Cinematic Mode is enabled (see `SetCinematicMode` which is part of the main Lua API) and most player input is blocked. Animations can cause various things to happen, like move hedgehogs, show speech bubbles, explode the landscape or just call (almost) any function. During an animation, the player can only watch or optionally skip (details later). The player can still move the camera.

There is also an internal wait time. It starts at 0 and a few cinematic functions as well as `AnimWait` can increase this time. The wait time counts down to 0, during which the script waits to execute the next animation step. Adding to the wait time is important to time your animation correctly.

An optional convenience parameter `startAnimating` is available; if set to `true`, the game will start in “animation” mode which enables cinematic mode and disables all controls except precise for skipping. This is useful if you want to indicate that an animation will be played right at the start and the player must not be allowed to use any controls before the animation is over. If you set this parameter to `true`, you also *must* play at least one animation after this, otherwise the game will be stuck.

Events are pairs of functions that are used to check for various conditions. One of them is for verification and, if it returns `true`, the second function is called.

Adds the functions `condFunc` and `doFunc` to the events list. They get called with the respective args (`condArgs` and `doArgs`). `condFunc` will get called in every game tick until it returns `true` or is removed. Once it returns `true`, `doFunc` is called and they are or are not removed from the list, depending on `evType` (`0` for removal, `1` for keeping). An `evType` of `1` is useful for repeating actions (e.g. every time a hog gets damaged, do something).

Does the same as `AddEvent`, but first checks if the event is already in the list so that it isn’t added twice.

Removes the event or events that have `cFunc` as the condition checking function. If `cArgs` does not equal `nil` then only those events get removed that have `cArgs` as arguments for `cFunc`, too.

Verifies all the condition functions in the events list and calls the respective ‘action’ functions if the conditions are met. If the `evType` of a completed event equals `0` then it is removed from the list. This function is best placed in `onGameTick`.
