Since 0.9.23, 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.

Calls the function `func` with `args` as arguments. This function is useful, for instance, when the cinematic uses the position of a gear at the moment of execution. If `func` needs to be called in following game ticks then it should return false.

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).

Internally, the input mask you provide is simply AND-ed with the input mask used by the Animate library. Otherwise, this function works lik `SetInputMask`.

If you call `SetInputMask` directly, note that it might get quickly overwritten by the Animatel library!
