Using Enums as HoldType?

[Hexogen]

Hey guys, is it possible to use ACT_ Enums directly as a holdtype animation reference? Something like

self:SetWeaponHoldType(ACT_HL2MP_IDLE_FIST)

in the SWEP lua?

See this:

maybe you can do something with self.ActivityTranslate

Okay well i tried to use the Combofist addon and implement it in the cider base, my hands lua looks like that:

--[[
Name: "shared.lua".
Product: "Cider (Roleplay)".
--]]

if (SERVER) then
	AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua");

	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_fists_t.mdl")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_fists_t.vvd")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_fists_t.phy")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_fists_t.sw.vtx")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_fists_t.dx90.vtx")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_fists_t.dx80.vtx")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/v_punch.mdl")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/v_punch.vvd")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/v_punch.sw.vtx")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/v_punch.dx90.vtx")
	resource.AddFile("models/weapons/v_punch.dx80.vtx")
	resource.AddFile("sound/weapons/fists/hl2_slash1.wav")
	resource.AddFile("sound/weapons/fists/hl2_slash2.wav")

end;

		end;
	end;
end;

Im especially having a problem with the holdtype, not even "normal" works, my goddamn character holds his hands like the pistol holdtype, although i have set the holdtype to normal, where the hands should just be beside him.

what am i doing wrong? here's the isolated important part:

SWEP.Holdtype = "normal"
-- Called when the SWEP is initialized.
function SWEP:Initialize()

	self:SetWeaponHoldType( self.HoldType )

edit: yeah just realized that alot of sounds etc are not needed cause they dont get used in the functions anyways, so i inserted the cleaner version now
