The next logical thing to try might be to make the sprite with a normal enemy brain/attributes, but also spawn another script which has a loop that updates the enemy's sprite constantly, simulating a repeat animation, something simple like:

loop:
sp_frame(&sprite,1)
wait(50);
sp_frame(&sprite,2);
wait(50);
...
goto loop;

I don't remember what the difference between sp_pframe and sp_frame actually was again... just use the one that works
