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.
