Syntax

animate(    layer: string,    setting: string,    value: string | number,    seconds: number,    options?: MotionAnimateOptions): Promise<boolean>

Name	Type	Description
`layer`	`string`	The layer's name or id, or a folder's
`setting`	`string`	A number or colour setting
`value`	`string \| number`	Where it ends up
`seconds`	`number`	How long the move takes
`options`	`MotionAnimateOptions`	Optional. Its easing ("easeInOut" unless given), delay (seconds) and loop (true, or "pingpong")

Promise<boolean>: a promise of true when it gets there, false when it's stopped or a move or set of the same setting takes over.

A layer that isn't there does nothing (the console says so once), and the promise gives false. A move that loops never gets there.

await scene.animate("Moon", "y", 0.2, 4, { easing: "sineInOut" });scene.animate("Glow", "opacity", 1, 1);
