# File name, Sound, Sound file name]
# Start x - Starting X of Picture When Shown
# Start y - Starting Y of picture when Shown
# Ending x - Ending X of Picture when Shown
# Ending x - Ending Y of Picture when Shown
# Time- # of Frames before Picture is removed
# Priority- true/false, True is above everything, false is below windows
# File Name- Picture File Name found in Graphics/Pictures
# Sound- true/false, When true, play sound file name. When false, don't play
# anything.
# Sound File Name- File Name of Sound effect. Only place something here if s
# sound is true
# Step 2:
#
# Press Ctrl F and find SkillCheck
# 1. Copy and paste these lines:
# when 1
# return @spriteset.call_picture(JENS009_ANIMATION::TEST)
# 2.Change the 1 to the skill id of your choice
# 3.and Change TEST to the name of the animation you want to play from
# JENS009_ANIMATION module
#
# You're all set
