Animator

All objects in the game now have a "Look Here" interaction, available when the active sim is running a looping animation.

By default animation interactions run with no delay and essentially forever. To help sync up interactions amongst multiple sims, there are several interaction tones that can be used.

If an inactive sim is busy doing something else, that is, they already have non-Animator items in their action queue, the player may find that the intended Animator actions get added to their own active sim's queue and will be performed by them instead. To prevent this from happening, try clearing the inactive sims' action queues with DebugEnabler resets first. Animator commands can be stacked, however, so it's okay to issue more than one Animator command in succession on an inactive.
