====== CFAnim ======

**CFAnim** (//Animator// for Gridarta) is a [[:server plugin]] to make animations for NPCs.

It uses a simple text file format, described below.

Not all commands are actually implemented, and the plugin overall status is experimental - maybe it can crash the server.


There is an example map in ''/test/cfanim'', with associated scripts ''/test/cfanim.animation'' and ''/test/cfanim.button''.

FIXME more details?
