```

**Parameters:**

- `unit`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)

Increasing animation speed of a unit also increases its run/walk speed (thanks to Killzone_Kid)

Setting negative values with this makes animations act in reverse or make you stuck sliding in unknown directions.

Didn't work on animals (A3 1.84.144923)

Must be executed on all clients to work properly in MP (otherwise only movement speed is adjusted, not animation itself)

**Waffle SS.** — 2021-10-30

For animation speed to control unit speed, this must be executed on the local client.
Non-local clients can set a speed less than the local client's.
Non-local clients using an animation speed greater than the local client's may result in the animation freezing.
