<h2>animate</h2>
<HR>

<H3>Syntax:</H3>

<P>
<pre class="syntax">animate (<i>character, animation</i>);</pre>
</P>

<H3>Purpose:</H3>

<P>
Makes the specified <i>character</i> perform the selected <i>animation</i> which must be created with the <a href="anim.html">anim</a> function. The character will continue performing the animation until told to move, change direction or speak.
</P>

<P>
The animate function can be used, for example, to provide different speaking animations without having to build a new costume.
</P>

<P>
<pre>animate (ego, chinHitsFloorAnimation);
think (ego, &quot;WHAT?&quot;);
say (ego, &quot;Are you kidding?&quot;);</pre>
</P>

<P>
The above example will give the ego character a different animation while it <a href="say_and_think.html">think</a>s the line &quot;WHAT?&quot; - the ego will then use its standard talking animation to <a href="say_and_think.html">say</a> the like &quot;Are you kidding?&quot;.
</P>

<H3>Return value:</H3>

<P>
The return value is the total playing time of <i>animation</i>. Consequently, the following code will perform an animation once and once only:
</P>

<P>
<pre>var a = anim ('pickNose.duc', 0, wait (1, 4), 2, 3, 4);
pause (animate (ego, a));
normalCharacter (ego);</pre>
</P>

<P>
In the above example, the return value of the animate function is 8... 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1. So, the <a href="pause.html">pause</a> function stops the function for 8 frames: just long enough for the animation to run.
</P>
