Creating an animation that plays when an item is used?

[duckstapler]

Is it possible? Sorry if this is a way newb question--I looked around and made some google searches but didn't find any answers (though that could just be that I'm a spacecase and I miss things that are right in front of me sometimes).

 

Pretty much what I'm trying to make is an item that when used plays a custom animation once and restores sanity. I've already got the item half working in game in that it can be spawned with console commands, picked up, and held in the player's hand, but I'm clueless as to how to progress. So I guess what I'm asking is: if it is possible, how would I go about doing this and what would the code for calling the animation look like?

 as far as I know, no custom animations have been created

Ah, that's weird since everything else about Don't Starve is so mod friendly. Bummer! Thanks for the response though, I guess I will have to figure out a different approach for what I want to do.

Not sure if its possible, But you can probably add an animation that already exists. Like Using a staff. (Not sure if its possible, because I have no idea how coding works.)
