==== Custom Animation ====
<block box compact>
== url ==
An online link to a **.TXT** animation file.
</block>

<block box compact>
== data ==
The animation data. Usually, you don't want to edit this manually.
<block box compact>
(icon_danger) Trying to edit this field with a large animation file might crash your game.

</block>

<block box compact>
== stop on hide ==
Stops the animation when the part is hidden.
</block>

<block box compact>
== stop other animations ==
Stops other animations when this animation is triggered.
</block>

<block box compact>
== animation type ==
Control the animation behavior.
|<span code>sequence</span>| Sequences are keyframed animations that use the reference pose. Use Start Frame to specific the starting frame of the animation and Restart Frame to specify a frame to go to when the animation loops. |
|<span code>stance</span>| Stances are keyframed animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. Use Start Frame to specific the starting frame of the animation and Restart Frame to specify a frame to go to when the animation loops. |
|<span code>posture</span>| Postures are static animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. |
|<span code>gesture</span>| Gestures are keyframed animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. They play once and then stop automatically. |
</block>

<block box compact>
== interpolation ==
The type of blending between keyframes.
|<span code>none</span>| No blending at all, the animation will 'jump' from keyframe to keyframe. |
|<span code>linear</span>| Straight linear movement between keyframes. |
|<span code>cosine</span>| Smooth motion between keyframes, this option should have the best quality / compatibility balance for most animations. |
|<span code>cubic</span>| Smooth motion between keyframes, theoretically the best-looking option but might cause issues with some animations. |
</block>

<block box compact>
== rate ==
The overall playback rate of the animation. Can be used to slow down / speed up the animation without editing keyframes.
</block>

<block box compact>
== bone power ==
The overall influence of the bone values of the animation. For example, setting this to ''**0.5**'' will move the bones half of the distance defined on the keyframe.

== offset ==
