show animation in battle?

I am creating a mid-battle event that plays once your hero's life is at 50% or less.  What I want it to do is play the heal animation over the hero, and then set his health to 100% (he's sort of "discovering" what he's made of)

I set this up to play animation, just like you would the normal world - but it's not playing - it basically just freezes the battle.

Is this not do-able?  Does it require a plugin?

I was working on something similar and found a bit of a work around. What you can do is set up a skill with the animation you want. Go to page 3 of your event commands and under the "Battle" section there's a command called "Force Action". Make it so that your character uses this skill.

beautiful!!!
