Textures and sounds can be called by key. I would like to be able to call animations by key, so that it is not necessary to have them in an object's inventory.

llGetAnimationList
you can get the GUID's with it. Was fun during the 1.4 preview stealing animation keys and trying to figure out how peoples sex animations worked... some of them still confuse me.

I already have the key, I want to be able to trigger it from a script without it being in the object's inventory. Currently that does not work, I tried it already.

What i'm saying is that *anyone* can get the GUID of any animation playing on any avatar in the sim. Adding this feature back would allow for animation theft.

Hmm... you're right, I suppose. Maybe they will figure out something for that in the next permissions system.
It makes me wonder, though. If an object can't trigger an animation by its key, how did animation theft work in preview?

In the preview, you *could* trigger by key. They took that ability out when they realized rampant theft would occur.

I actualy stole the hard and stupid way, I turned on Animation Info in the debug, took screenshots of keys when they were played, then copied them down in notepad, copied and pasted into a script, then played it. It was a neat trick, but took me like 3 minutes to do it, when I'm sure others came up with script ways to do it in 2 seconds.  I would support this idea if they can somehow check if you are the owner of the animation through the key. I think currently it works because it checks if the animation is in the inventory by name, probably with some internal llGetInventoryList or llCheckIfAnimationInInventory. Heh.

The way to do it, I think, is to see whether the animation is being called by a script that was created by the person who uploaded the animation. It would mean that people who sell animations would have to email .bvh anims to people who wanted to do this - buying an animation already uploaded to SL by someone else would not work.
Alternately, an animation, if modifiable, could have a flag to allow any script to call it. You couldn't protect it from being used by others, but at least you would not have to distribute it.
