Guides on making custom Idle Animations?

I need to make one, and I have no idea where to start looking for info. All i need to do is take the wall mining animation and replace the pickaxe with a hammer. Anyone have ideas?

Look at Belathor's helper

At some point he is outside hammering on the wall.

I don't know whether he has a hammer or not but I don't think he has a pickaxe.

Another animation is called "IdleMT_DoorBang"

I don't have any animations called IdleMT anything...weird.

Also, Sigurd (belethor's helper) only has four packages, and none of them seemingly have anything about hammering on a wall. I'll have to see if there's anything I missed.
EDIT: AHA! You were right, he has a package that basically he goes around hammering on things if they have the keyword isHammerWall. I'll have to look mroe into this. Thanks!

Here is the "IdleMT_DoorBang". I don't know whether there are other places to find it but I used it in the recording screen where you record your voice for characters under the dropdown "Idle Animations/Speaker". I think you may be able to find it also on the Idle tab of packages.

Yea, he uses the idle marker called "HammerWallMarker" which has the "isHammerWall" keyword
