you save it. You can do this by clicking on the Save All button.

Note

It is important to remember that not all animation sets will work for every character. These are
default names that have been predefined.

Note

Any new animations that are not part of the default set are controlled by scripts within your game.
For example, you might create an animation of the player

s character playing an instrument, and
you may then initiate that animation when the player types/plays music in the chat window.
