Frame commands

Introduction

Each animation can have commands attached. These are either global (they influence the entire animation), or per-frame (they do something at the frame with the given number).

Apart from the default D3 frame commands, the darkmod team has added a few new, useful frame commands. This page tries to describe them all.
