Facial expressions - how to ad (code needed)

hello world!

i was send here for my request : )

i want to add facial expressions to some posaballs. I learned i must use the build-in animations from sl, and that they can be triggered by a script in sl. Im searching such a script.

something like that just as real sl-script:

(

start: onsit
start expression: express_tongue_out
loop expression sec: 5.0
stop: unsit

)

can someone help me?

Hm... Ok, I'm stranded in a computer lab for a while, so I'll take a minute to write this for you. I don't have an LSL compiler on hand to test, but your code will probably look something like this:

string gAnim = "express_tongue_out";
float gAnimLoop = 5.0;
key gSitting;

default
{
state_entry ()
{
llSitTarget ( < 0.0, 0.0, 0.1 >, ZERO_ROTATION );
}

changed ( integer change )
{
if ( change & CHANGED_LINK )
{
gSitting = llAvatarOnSitTarget ();

if ( gSitting )
{
llRequestPermissions ( gSitting, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION );
}

else
{
llSetTimerEvent ( 0.0 );
}
}
}

run_time_permissions ( integer perm )
{
if ( perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION )
{
llStopAnimation ( "sit" ); // Override the default sitting animation
llStartAnimation ( gAnim );
llSetTimerEvent ( 5.0 );
}
}

timer ()
{
integer perm = llGetPermissions ();
if ( perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATIONS )
{
llStartAnimation ( gAnim );
}
}
}


Someone may want to check this for bugs, but that should give you the basic idea, anyway. If someone sits on the prim, it requests animation permissions, the script should automatically grant permissions, at which point the default sit animation will be halted and the expression animation will begin. The script sets a timer to trigger the same animation every 5.0 seconds or until the avatar stands up, at which point the timer will halt.
