pose[/noeval] <action>
:<action>

pose/nospace[/noeval] <action>
semipose[/noeval] <action>
;<action>

The pose and semipose commands allow you to perform actions. Pose shows your name, a space, and then <action>; semipose omits the space. They can be abbreviated to ’:’ and ’;’ respectively. The /noeval switch stops <action> from being evaluated.

If you have a SPEECHMOD attribute set, it will be evaluated with <action> as %0 and either : (for pose) or ; (for semipose) as %1. The result is used instead of <action>, as long as it returns a non-empty string.
