Description
In the Anim State Graph, it would be great to have a randomised option for the offset to allow for more interesting scenes when the entities all have the same canned animation and are triggered at the same time.
Eg
Spawning a number of NPCs at the same time to have different start times on the idle anims
A cheering crowd when someone scores
