## Meaning

animationtriggerlookup: X4 attribute schema type: base types, constraints and value alternatives.

An XSD type constrains XML, rather than declaring a Lua return or the payload type of event.param. A valid schema value does not prove a successful game effect.

restriction narrows a base type; union accepts one of its branches; list describes whitespace-separated items. Enumeration values in one restriction are alternatives. Pattern syntax is XML Schema regex, not Lua patterns or JavaScript RegExp. Constraints inherited from the base type still apply.

## Example and result

Use the attribute pages below for contextual examples. A generic executable example is not inferred from a type name alone.
