cutscene entity never moves, rotates - only one animation?

[22i]

lately i have been thinking about creating a cutscene like thing. It could work by being an entity that never moves or rotates and only has one animation that it plays from start to finish. I could create the whole cutscene animation in blender then export it for minetest. You could trigger the entity animation in multiple ways:

- by entering command /cutscene 1 which would spawn cutscene entity near you and start playing its animation
- comming close to the entity like in its 10 blocks radius
- pressing a button
- stepping on a pressure plate

How can this be done?

the default character / sam is used


cutscene:button starts animation for those that are nearer than 50
cutscene:pressure_plate start...
cutscene:button_stop stop...
/cutscene 1 to spawn one and start anim...
animation starts when you are 10 or nearer them

have fun!
