RAIN.Primitives.AnimateAction Class Reference

AnimateAction is a primitive that can be used to manipulate animation in RAIN characters. The easiest way to link animation to your character is by adding an AnimationRequestHandler to it - either directly or through a controller that supports IAnimationRequestHandler (e.g., an AIAnimationController).
