## Using the Animation Component

The Animation Component is used to hold the animations of an AI. This is done through an Animation Profile, which is an external object that holds all of an AI's animation data, including the Animator Controller an AI will use. This allows AI to share the same animation data with only needing to rely on a single Animation Profile. Any changes made to an Animation Profile will affect any AI using that Animation Profile.
