[LE] Make the werewolf feed idle play on a magic effect

[morrowind1979]

I am setting up a custom feeding system for this new demon form mod and I want the demon to play the werewolf feeding idle every time the player uses the feed spell (The demon model I have is rigged to the werewolf skeleton and animations).

 

This is what I have and the idle does not play:

Scriptname MW1979DemonFeedScript extends ActiveMagicEffect  

Idle Property DemFeed  Auto  

Event OnEffectStart(Actor Target, Actor Caster)
	Game.GetPlayer().PlayIdle(DemFeed)
EndEvent

The DemFeed Property is set to SpecialFeeding.

 

 

UPDATE: By use of debug message boxes I can see that the command playidle(DemFeed) is being sent to the player but the animation is not playing. The demon model I have is capable of producing this animation as I have tested it in the animations tab of the actor window. I am perplexed as to why its not working

Got this working now. The only way I could get it to work was to duplicate and edit the playerwerewolfquest and its scripts. It seems there is some sort of problem with playidle and sendanimation commands. One problem solved, another couple to go! Getting there!
