Porting from Gamemaker

Yeah, it's done now, will be in the next build. It's only a small tweak to the existing animation system, so it's not complicated to do

Would you mind phrasing it as a feature request instead of a gripe in future? This might take me twenty minutes to implement. We're all volunteers on this project, and it's a bit nicer to read through positive feature requests and how that'd allow us to do more, rather than how awful the current system is. I'm all for change, especially when it's this easy. No hard feelings

I'm not really sure what the solutions to some of these problems are, though, and I want to avoid saying "do it like mmf did it!" because I'm not sure if that's taboo around here or not.

Blasphemer! Outcast! Unclean!

No, that's fine, drawing comparisons to similar products is one way that features get refined. Of course the goal is not to "do it like they do" but to at least offer an equivalent solution.
