0x36 — character_anim_signal

Character animation signal query/update helper. It resolves a character/SSF object and can call CCharacterAnim::GetPlayingAnimationSignal, GetEventValueForScript, and SetEventValueForScript.

Encoding

The command header is one 32-bit word, as described in §3 Instruction encoding:

 31            24 23            16 15             8 7              0
+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
|  flags         |  argument byte |  extra words   |  0x36          |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+

Bits 8–15 give the number of 32-bit operand words that follow. Bits 16–23 are handed to the handler as a bitfield; on character commands bit 0 normally says whether a character selector word is present. Bit 31 is the keep-going bit.

Operand fields

7 documented fields. input fields are read from the command's operand words; derived fields are computed from other fields rather than stored separately.

Field	Role	Meaning
`character`	input	The packed 32-bit character selector word. Its low half is the character id and byte 2 is a secondary class/variant input; see `character_number` and `character_variant`.
`event_value`	input	Script event-value id that the condition or command reads.
`name_source`	derived	Selects where a name operand comes from, such as an inline four-word string.
`result_op`	derived	Operation applied to `result`.
`signal_name`	input	Name operand for `signal`.
`signal_raw_byte3`	input	Byte 3 of the packed `signal raw` entry.
`signal_selector`	input	Selects which `signal` the handler acts on.
