Provides access to a global video. Global means that the video is played/shown for all character owners. The ASL character system doesn't support local videos which means videos for each single character owner. Videos can have initialization, play and stop actions which has to be defined as function interface functions. User can easily save and restore actors data by using methods saveActor and restoreActor. Additionally there is a method called actor which gives user access to an almost exact copy of the "first character". The first character is always the character of first player in list which still is online. List is starting with player 1 (id 0). Since you don't use character units (beside the copied one) they will be hidden in video initialization. Besides all units will be paused so you have to unpause a unit if you want to give orders (like move) to it. Videos can be skipped by pressing a user-defined key. If at least half of players want to skip a video (have pressed that key) it will be skipped.
