How can a script detect when the actor drinks a potion? : V

I want to play a drink animation when the actor or player drinks a potion in combat.

I did this in my Oblivion combat mod and it REALLY changes the way you fight if you also specialize in alchemy.

I have the drink animation script ready to go (tested in combat by pressing a key) but no way to trigger it automatically.

Hmm... Without scripting the potions' effects to indicate their consumption, all I can think of would be to count them and periodically check if the count decreases. Something like:

Spoiler

Actor kSomeActorFloat fInterval = 3.0Int iPotionCountFormList Property kYourPotionFormList AutoEvent SomeEvent()	Int iPotionCount = kSomeActor.GetItemCount(kYourPotionFormList)	If iPotionCount		RegisterForSingleUpdate(fInterval)	EndIfEndEventEvent OnUpdate()	If iPotionCount > kSomeActor.GetItemCount(kYourPotionFormList)		Debug.Trace("Actor probably drank a potion")	EndIfEndEvent
