Spawn Palette over animation

I know I can spawn and entity with palette but to save me creating 20 different entities or creating more sprites is there a way I can spawn a palette over a specific animation only?

for example sending to death

death 2 (by lightning)

death 3 (by poison)

death 4 (by fire)

death 5 (by ice)

death 6 (by loving a person just a little too much)

danno,

There is an option that allows every single frame to have its own palette, but that affects the entire model. You can't enable it for specific animations.

You can always just make palettes for each effect and switch them with forcemap or script... but, there's another way I think you'll like better if you try: Tinting. Why bother with palettes at all? Just slap a tint over the entity with whatever colors you feel like and its done.

danno,

Yeah, I just noticed and fixed it. Sorry about that.

I also just recorded a quick clip so you could see what it looks like in action.

Code: 
    if(animation == openborconstant("ANI_DEATH") || animation == openborconstant("ANI_BURNPAIN"))
    {
        // Set transparency mode for tint, and apply tint color.
        changedrawmethod(ent, "tintmode", EFFECT_TINT_BURN_MODE);
        changedrawmethod(ent, "tintcolor", EFFECT_TINT_BURN);

        // Nothing else to do, so exit the function.
        return;
    }

Tried it on a few different mods because the module that comes with tint has no death animations, same result, but death animation inside tint module, same result
