:rolleyes:
I have also wondered if anyone has taken the time to document all the states for all the wad slots.

What they do is represent a certain logical action. They game engine can place Lara in that state, thus causing her to perform the action using one or more animations. This could be dying, walking, diving, climbing, pushing a switch, pulling a lever. But the states have different meanings for different objects. Enemies have an attack state, doors only have open and close states, etc.
The order should not be importants, unless the state plays more than one animation. Then the animations must link to each other using next anim. To allow an object to go from one state to another, you must have a state change and dispatch to tell the game engine how to get there from the current animation.
