Properties

Property	Type	Default	Notes
Mode	option	Play	Animation control operation
Anim Name	string		Name of animation to play (e.g. ‘walk’, ‘idle’, ‘jump’)
Speed	float	1.0	Playback speed multiplier (0.5 = half speed, 2.0 = double speed)
Blend (s)	float	0.1	Transition blend duration in seconds
Loop	bool	False	Loop animation indefinitely
Loop Mode	option	Normal	Normal: Loop from start. Ping-Pong: Play forward then backward
Reverse	bool	False	Start playing from the end (for reverse animations)
Verbose	bool	False	Log animation operation to console for debugging

Example Use Cases

Character State Animations:

Property(state, Equal, idle) -> AND -> Animation(name=idle, mode=Play, loop=true)
Property(state, Equal, walk) -> AND -> Animation(name=walk, mode=Play, loop=true, blend=0.2)
Property(state, Equal, run) -> AND -> Animation(name=run, mode=Play, loop=true, blend=0.2)
Property(state, Equal, jump) -> AND -> Animation(name=jump, mode=Play, loop=false)

Door Opening:

Collision(Player) -> AND -> Animation(name=door_open, mode=Play, speed=1.0)
Delay(180) -> AND -> Animation(name=door_open, mode=Play Backwards)
// Open door, wait 3 seconds, close door

Attack Animation:

Sample inspector layout removed for compatibility.

Speed Control:

Property(stamina, Greater, 50) -> AND -> Animation(name=run, speed=1.5)
Property(stamina, Less, 50) -> AND -> Animation(name=run, speed=0.8)
// Faster animation when high stamina, slower when tired
