    If I just assign a string function to the animation like in the picture does this do some kind of "Iterate over all the components" untill it finds a function with that name?

    How performant is this when you have alot of components?
    If a result is found is this then cached or does it do a lookup every time the animation plays?

    Just open the profiler and do some performance tests. I never bothered benchmarking them because I know they aren't very efficient or even convenient to use so I just made my own event system for Animancer.
