Phoenix, if you come back to this thread...
Even with llDetectedScale, how would I know where to position the sit target of a (for example) chariot or other standing vehicle to account for people of all leg lengths? The scale gives you their over-all height, but someone with long legs and a short torso might have the same scale as someone with short legs and a long torso. I don't know how to account for this short of allowing the "sit" targets to pick an attach point to use as a handle to the avatar. For instance, a Marry Poppins umbrella vehicle would use the right hand bone. Any avatar animation that plays would then use the hand as the center of local rotations and the player could dangle any way they choose. And a chariot could use one of the foot bones as the lock point, then the rider could sit or stand as they chose. A parachute would lock to the spine. A propeller beanie to the skull. etc... _____________________

i've been doing some stuff with animations and i don't think sl has a clue where your hand is when you're playing an animation. i don't think it even knows where you are, since you can dance right through people and objects. it still thinks you're standing where you started the animation. so when you sit on something and use an animation, it thinks you're on that object no matter what animation you play or where that animation puts you.
so seems like a whole other feature suggestion. can't lock the hand bone to an umbrella if it thinks your hand bone is 10m away from the umbrella. oh the hand bone's connected to the wrist bone, and the wrist bone's connected to the arm bone, and the arm bone's connected to the shoulder bone now hear the word of the lord! |

what tiger is asking for with the vehical attach points is a good idea; and do-able. It would be all client side. It would change the root bone to the wrist or which ever bone was required and make everything work down from it. Course your animations might not work the way you expect. (start typing while flying and your body flips over and around the umbrella)
