Reverse

Plays the animation from its loop end back down toward its start frame.

Specification

Applies to: AnimType
File: art.ini
Section: [<ObjectType ID>]
Value: boolean
When omitted: no

The animation is created on the stage held by LoopEnd and steps down one stage at a time, finishing once the stage arrives at Start. Every further pass begins on the loop end again, and LoopStart is not consulted at all.

The flag is applied only when the animation is created. One that reaches this type through Next= is put on the type’s start figure as a stage but keeps stepping the way it already was, so the flag on the type it arrived at is never read.
