start|stopAnimation (variable method) [VS] (works)

-- * notes * --
-- some quick examples of startAnimation() | stopAnimation()
-- start animation has a return value so we'll do a version for that too!
-- execute startAnimation in an object action like so: start_animation(typ, "csname", "objname", "aniname")
-- execute stopAnimation in an object action like so: stop_animation(typ, "csname", "objname", "aniname")

-- * function variables * --
-- typ = int{1,2} - (1[scene > objectAnimation], 2[characterAnimation])
-- csname = "string" (nil or character|scene name)
-- objname = "string" (nil or scene object / character outfit name)
-- aniname = "string" (animation name)

-- * example * --
-- start_animation(2, "Robert", "default_outfit", "ani_demo") -- starts "ani_demo" animation via character Robert's animation area/tab!

function start_animation(typ, csname, objname, aniname)
 if typ == 1 then
  local ani = getObject('Scenes[' .. csname .. '].SceneObjects[' .. objname .. '].ObjectAnimations[' .. aniname .. ']')
   if startAnimation(ani) then print('ObjectAnimation: ' .. csname .. ', ' .. objname .. ', ' .. aniname .. ' has been started!') end
