======Override Animation======
----

Overrides an [[entity|entity's]] [[animation]] with another one. This can be used to replace a [[predefined_animation_names|predefined animation]] (for example, a [[character|character's]] "walk" [[animation]]) with a custom one during the game. You can specify the same default name (for example, "walk") for both parameters to revert that [[animation]] to its original settings.
