Triggers when a given animation event (find argument) is played.
This event is used for animation events as seen here (e.g. jump).
This doesn't mean the model's “animations” properly speaking. What we call an “animation” in common parlance usually refers to sequences. Instead, outside of pac3, “animation events” refers to specific player actions. Be aware of that distinction.
For more context, animation events are not always implemented in the playermodel's internal definition. There's also not always one for each action you can think of, plus a lot seem to be unused (e.g. not all weapons actually send “attack secondary” if you use their alt-fire mode) or broken so you might never get them to work in pac3. Very few seem to work reliably. The rest are mentioned in the list collapsed under the red button below.
If you're looking for an event that finds the animation sequence (e.g. jump_pistol) running on your model, see sequence name.
Any string operator.

Set the event to animation_event, operator to find, find to jump, time to 2. The event will trigger and stay active for 2 seconds whenever you jump.
