## State modification
##
## A state modifier doesn't have any direct control of a game object. 
## They are transfered from the enter and exit of other states and 
## influence the movement or animation of their parent states. 
## Rather than going full into paralell state machines I hope that this 
## modifier will be suitable for a basic state machine.

## if an animation is specified, the default behavior will be just to override
