Change the model of this entity to 'modelname'. The 'modelname' is the path to the model.

remapshader <target_shader> <new_shader>

NOTE: On subsequent calls the 'target_shader' should still be what it originally was.
NOTE: A maximum of 128 shaders can be remapped at one time.

NOTE: A maximum of 128 shaders can be remapped at one time.

setstate <targetname> <default|invisible|underconstruction>
Sets the state of an entity.

abortmove
Stops movement of the current entity.
TODO: Check if this breaks on spline paths, if you try to stop on a spline path and then resume.

attatchtotrain <targetname> <length>
Makes this entity follow another entity with a specified distance.
NOTE: Only works in combination with followpath.

faceangles <pitch> <yaw> <roll> <duration|gototime> [accel|deccel]
The entity will face the given angles, taking 'duration' milliseconds to turn. If the GOTOTIME is given instead of a timed duration, the duration calculated from the last gotomarker command will be used instead. Use accel or deccel to make the turning non-linear.

followpath <direction> <targetname> <speed> [wait] [length <value>]
Makes the entity follow the path/spline named 'targetname', in the 'direction' at a speed of 'speed' units per second. If wait is specified the execution thread will halt until the move has completed.
If length is specified, then the entity's angles will be offset 'value' units along the path.
NOTE: Followpath is required when attatchtotrain is used, otherwise use followspline.

followspline <direction|accum <buffer_index>|globalaccum <buffer_index>> <targetname> <speed> [wait] [length <value>] [roll <start_angle> <end_angle>] [dampin] [dampout]
This one is extending the syntax of followpath. In addition to a direction specified in the script, it can get its direction from either an accum or globalaccum register. It is also possible to specifiy a start and end roll angle. The entity will be interpolated between these two during its movement. And finally you can use the dampin and dampout keywords in combination with roll to make the roll no-linear.

gotomarker <targetname> <speed> [accel|deccel] [turntotarget] [wait] [relative <position_targetname>]
Moves the entity toward 'targetname' at a speed of 'speed' units per second. If accel or deccel is specified then the speed will be non-linear. If wait is specified the execution thread will halt until the move has completed. If turntotarget is specified then the entity will gradually turn towards its heading.
TODO: Check if specifying 'relative <position_targetname>' causes the entity to move in an imaginary line from targetname to position_targetname.

halt
Stops movement of the current entity.

setposition <targetname>
Moves entity to position of target entity.

setrotation <pitchspeed> <yawspeed> <rollspeed>
Sets the rotational velocity of an entity.

setspeed <x> <y> <z> [gravity|lowgravity]

Unknown use.

playanim <startframe> <endframe> [looping <duration|untilreachmarker|forever>] [rate <FPS>]
Plays an animation from the current entitys model. Starting at 'startframe' and going to 'endframe'. If looping is specified it must be followed by a duration time in milliseconds or one of the symbols untilreachmarker or forever. If rate is specified it must be followed by a number specifying the rate at which the animation should be played.
NOTE: The source animation must be at 20fps.

startanimation <startframe> <framecount> <fps> [norandom|nolerp|noloop]
Plays an animation from the current entitys model. Starting at 'startframe' and playing 'framecount' frames, at 'fps' rate. If norandom is specified then the animation starts playing from frame 'startframe'. If noloop is specified then the animation will only play once.
TODO: Uncertain about what nolerp does. lerp is used for linear interpolation.

unfreezeanimation
ASSUMED: Unfreezes the animation of the current entity.
Source code: Sets ent->s.loopSound to 0.
