Playing an animation overlay on an actor in battle.

I'm still fairly new. I know on hit effect it plays the chosen animation, but what I'd like is something sort of like a bleeding effect, if a character is affected by "x" state, it will play the animation over the actor or enemy periodically. I imagine its not something that requires a plugin for just not sure how it's done. Thanks

in states theres SV Overlay which is all the default engine can do.
which is fine for several states but any actual "animations" do require plugins.
yanfly's buff/state plugin with visual state effects plugin extension can do state animation overlays.

Ah I see i'm having an issue, and I'm not just losing my mind. Apparently a plugin is causing SV animations not to play. It's Moghunters LMBS and I can't find his discord info to ask there. It seems they aren't working in his provided demo either.
