@nod dips a sprite's head briefly downward and returns it to center, giving a character a small physical beat of agreement or acknowledgment. Use it when a character's words alone feel static - after a line of reluctant consent, a quiet yes, or a moment where someone takes in bad news without speaking.

The gesture reads best at its default intensity on most sprites. Push intensity higher when you want a more emphatic, full-body commitment to the agreement; pull it lower for a barely-there tilt that suggests the character is holding something back.

By default @nod fires and moves on, so dialogue or the next effect starts immediately while the nod is still playing out. Set wait to true when the nod needs to finish before the scene continues - most often when silence after the nod is part of the meaning rather than the next line arriving.

Avoid stacking @nod directly on top of another vertical motion effect like @shake. The two animations contest the same axis and the result will look unintentional. If you want layered motion, pair @nod with horizontal or non-positional effects instead.
