Animations

Animations are a feature in Mari0: Special Edition which were later ported to Alesan's Entities in V11. They can do many things such as disabling controls, creating dialog, toggling effects, loading levels and even in AE, transforming enemies! They can also be triggered by the animation trigger entity and in AE, animations can trigger an animation output to trigger items in the level.
