Add Magic Effect Animation to Miscellaneous Items?

[sp0ckrates]

Hi. I'm wondering if there is any script I can add to a miscellaneous item to make it play an animation, such as the poison cloak effect of the Ebony Mail.

 

I tried this, and the message showed, but the animation didn't play on the miscellaneous item:

Event OnLoad() 
    Debug.Notification("Item loaded!")
    PlayAnimation("MyAnimation")
EndEvent

I tried this, but it appears to only work for aimed spells, not cloak spells.

Event OnLoad()
     MyCloakSpell.Cast(Self,CurrentTarget)
EndEvent

Play animation on what? You have to tell it.

MyItem.PlayAnimation("MyAnimation")

Same idea with the spell. You're referencing CurrentTarget, but I don't think MiscObjects can target things.

I have the script added to the miscItem itself. But I'll try that. Thanks!
