I assume with SE you mean status effects, right?

[A2ur3]

yes. I'm making some creatures use same animation files (like in vanilla Spineling_morbusine and Spineling use same animations)
in this issue I have these creatures Clownhuman02, Clownhuman03, Clownhuman11. They are humanoid monsters and they all use animation files defined in Clownhuman02 to avoid duplication
Normally, animations of Clownhuman03 and Clownhuman11 work as intended until they are affected by status effects that may change animation (for example wearing a diving suit)
it is strange because TriggerAnimation has ExpectedSpecies="Human" and they are not human
to reproduce the issue you need to install EuropaWar too it is a required mod of Enhanced EuropaWar
