======Predefined Animation Names======
----

In RPG in a Box, some [[animation]] names are connected to certain behaviors and scenarios. For example, when a [[character]] moves from one [[tile]] to another, the game will automatically trigger the "walk" [[animation]] for that [[character]] (if it exists).

When defining a new [[animation]] from the "Add Animation" dialog, you can click the button with the magnifying glass to easily pick from a list of supported names. Refer to the tables below (divided by [[entity]] type) for explanations of when each of these predefined [[animation|animations]] gets triggered.

=====Characters=====
^Name^Description^
|idle|Plays whenever the [[character]] is standing still and no other [[animation|animations]] are active. The [[animation_types|animation type]] for this would typically be "Loop" or "Ping Pong". If an "idle" [[animation]] is not defined, the model's first frame will be displayed.|
|walk|Plays whenever the [[character]] is moving from one [[tile]] to another. The [[animation_types|animation type]] for this would typically be "Loop" or "Ping Pong".|
|interact|Plays whenever the [[character]] interacts with an [[object]].|
|attack|Plays whenever the [[character]] executes an attack during combat. The [[animation_types|animation type]] for this would typically be "Once" or "Ping Pong Once".|
|spawn|Plays whenever the [[character]] is added to a [[map]] using the [[Add Character]] scripting function.|
|hit|Plays whenever the [[character]] takes damage, for example during combat or from a hazardous trap.|
|death|Plays whenever the [[character]] is killed/destroyed during combat or other hazardous situation.|
|revive|Plays whenever the [[character]] is revived using the [[Revive Character]] scripting function.|
|climb|Plays whenever the [[character]] is climbing a [[climbing|climbable tile]]. The first frame of the [[animation]] is displayed when initially grabbing onto the [[tile]].|
|push|Plays whenever the [[character]] is pushing an [[object]]. The first frame of the [[animation]] is displayed when initially grabbing the [[object]].|
|pull|Plays whenever the [[character]] is pulling an [[object]]. If a "pull" [[animation]] is not defined for the [[character]], the "push" [[animation]] will be used instead.|
|walk_<dir>|Plays whenever the [[character]] walks in the corresponding direction, with <dir> being one of the four [[cardinal_direction|cardinal directions]]. This is typically used in conjunction with the "Two-Dimensional" setting (see [[Model Properties]]) to provide different views of the [[character]] based on the direction they're moving. Possible names are "walk_north", "walk_south", "walk_west", and "walk_east".|
|idle_<dir>|Plays whenever the [[character]] is standing still and is facing in the corresponding direction, with <dir> being one of the four [[cardinal_direction|cardinal directions]]. This is typically used in conjunction with the "Two-Dimensional" setting (see [[Model Properties]]) to provide different views of the [[character]] based on the direction they're moving. Possible names are "idle_north", "idle_south", "idle_west", and "idle_east".|
|attack_<dir>|Plays whenever the [[character]] executes an attack and is facing in the corresponding direction, with <dir> being one of the four [[cardinal_direction|cardinal directions]]. This is typically used in conjunction with the "Two-Dimensional" setting (see [[Model Properties]]) to provide different views of the [[character]] based on the direction they're moving. Possible names are "attack_north", "attack_south", "attack_west", and "attack_east".|

=====Tiles=====
^Name^Description^
|default|Plays as soon as the [[map]] is loaded. The [[animation_types|animation type]] for this would typically be "Loop" or "Ping Pong" and is useful for liquid-based [[tile|tiles]] like rivers and lava. If a "default" [[animation]] is not defined, the model's first frame will be displayed.|
|spawn|Plays whenever the [[tile]] is added to a [[map]] using the [[Add Tile]] scripting function.|

=====Objects=====
^Name^Description^
|default|Plays as soon as the [[map]] is loaded. The [[animation_types|animation type]] for this would typically be "Loop" or "Ping Pong" and is useful for [[object|objects]] with continuous movement like campfires, windmills, etc. If a "default" [[animation]] is not defined, the model's first frame will be displayed.|
|spawn|Plays whenever the [[object]] is added to a [[map]] using the [[Add Object]] scripting function.|
|move|Plays whenever the [[object]] is configured as a [[vehicles|vehicle]] and is being moved by the player or when the [[object]] is a projectile that has been fired.|
|attack|Plays whenever the [[object]] is configured as a [[vehicles|vehicle]] and the player attacks an enemy.|
