 # Queue an event to run.
 #
+# If you queue multiple events on a channel and none of them are blocking
+# events, all events will effectively run at the same time. As the events are
+# placed on the channel's queue, if one event contains a blocking command, the
+# next event on that channel's queue won't be processed until the blocking
+# command finishes.
+#
 # **Parameters**
 #
 # - object: Object that holds the ESC script with the event
 # - event: Name of the event to queue
-# - channel: Channel to run the event on (default: `_front`)
+# - channel: Channel to run the event on (default: `_front`). Using a 
+#   previously unused channel name will create a new channel.
 # - block: Whether to wait for the queue to finish. This is only possible, if
 #   the queued event is not to be run on the same event as this command
 #   (default: `false`)

 # Angles 0 and 360 are the same and correspond to UP/NORTH,
 # 90 is RIGHT/EAST, 180 is DOWN/SOUTH, 270 is LEFT/WEST etc.

+# The final animation used is determined by the directions which have
