+ * An Action Interrupt allows for ending an action early, toward the end of an animation.
+ *
+ * First, `sPlayerActionChangeList7` will be checked to see if any of those actions should be used.
+ * It should be noted that the `updateUpperBody` argument passed to `Player_TryActionChangeList`
+ * is `true`. This means that an item can be used during the interrupt window.
+ *
+ * If no actions from the Action Change List are used, then the control stick is checked to see if
+ * any movement should occur.
+ *
+ * Note that while this function can set up a new action with `sPlayerActionChangeList7`, this function
+ * will not set up an appropriate action for moving.
+ * It is the callers responsibility to react accordingly to `PLAYER_INTERRUPT_MOVE`.
+ *
+ * @param frameRange  The number of frames, from the end of the current animation, where an interrupt can occur.
+ * @return The interrupt result. See `PlayerActionInterruptResult`.
