[closed] Merge unit animaions

What's weird is that there's nowhere a word about your frame tags in the documentation.

…what are you talking about? In the frames section, it clearly says this:

Animation frames are defined using either the [frame] tag or a prefixed version of it, like [xxx_frame]. The xxx can be any sequence of alphanumeric characters. However, prefixes beginning with an underscore are reserve by the engine for internal use, and should generally not be used in user code. A frame of the type [frame] is said to have an empty prefix.

If that's not clear enough to let you know that you can use a bunch of different frames with different names, then please let me know how I can make it clearer.

I just ran into that the other day trying to figure out what [missle_frame] was. I had to read it a couple times, but I think it's not unclear. What would help me is an explanation of why you would create [my_frame] or [your_frame], preferably with an example. I think I read somewhere that [frame] and [missle_frame] could run concurrently, perhaps this is the/a reason? Either way, that's the kind of thing I'm thinking of as an example of why you would create "named frames".

That's at least mentioned here. Maybe that's too easy to miss…?

No, now that you mention it I think it's fine. What probably happened was I followed a link to AnimationWML#Frames so I didn't read the entire page from start to finish. Or I just skimmed past it.

Maybe copy that "At any given time, an animation will display one frame for each frame prefix it can find" into the [frames] section?

You're right.
I haven't read it all...
