Trigger animation on process start instead of finish?

There's an option in the processor pick list for on process finish but what about on process start?

I have an operator with other things going on and I want their animation to trigger on for when they start processing at a certain processor. I can then use the on process finish trigger to turn it off.

A future feature that may be useful is "do [event]". Event could be animation, message, or anything. You would choose "Do [event]" from the pick list and it would have boxes to fill in for start trigger, stop trigger, who's performing event, and what the event to Do is (animation, move, message, etc...).

There's not a "Process Start" trigger for a Processor. Maybe that's your point? There is an "On Entry" trigger and an "On Setup Finish" trigger though, and both of those trigger fields have a pick list option for starting/stopping an animation. The "On Setup Finish" trigger is the same event time as the start of the process, so that ought to work for you, right?
