Gestures play a quick movement once, without changing the mascot's mood.
They are available only in update_mascot(). With no character, it lists
the gestures every character shares, with their nominal lengths. With a
character, it lists that character's gestures: "nod" and "wave" first,
then its own in the order its author wrote them.
Arguments
- character
NULL(the default) for the shared gestures, or a character: an id string such as"tessa"or amascot_character()helper.
Value
A data frame with character columns name (the value you pass to
mascot_gesture()), description and fallback (the gesture declared as
the next choice when this one cannot play, or NA), and an integer column
frames. Without a character, frames is the nominal length (18 for
"nod", 30 for "wave") and fallback is NA. For a character, frames
is the length of the movement that actually plays: a "wave" that falls
back to a rock reports the length of the rock. Frames run at 30 per second.
A base data frame. Columns may be added at the end in later versions; existing columns keep their
names and types.
