<function name="FrameAdvance" parent="Entity" type="classfunc"> <description> Advances the cycle of an animated entity. Animations that loop will automatically reset the cycle so you don't have to - ones that do not will stop animating once you reach the end of their sequence. ⤶ <warning>Do not call this function multiple times a frame, as it can cause unexpected results, such as animations playing at increased rate, etc.⤶ ⤶ <page>NextBot:BodyMoveXY</page> calls this internally, so do not call this function before or after <page>NextBot:BodyMoveXY</page>.</warning>⤶ </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <args> <arg name="interval" type="number">How many seconds to advance the cycle.
