Note: The Animate library will direclty overwrite the input mask with `SetInputMask`. If you already use this function in your script, it might lead to conflicts. Use `AnimSetInputMask` to set the input mask in a manner that is compatible with the Animate library.

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.

Inserts `step` after the current step (read: action) in the cinematic array. Useful when an action depends on variables (e.g. positions). It can be used mostly with `AnimCustomFunction`. Note: In case of multiple consecutive calls, steps need to be added in reverse order.

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).
