I don't understand AO

There are some threads I should stay completely away from.

D'oh!

Now why would that be?

i plan to get in touch when I am Inworld. I am sure my problems are cockpit errors on my part. I am certain you have a fine product. I have been working on this since Monday and my frustration level has been very high.

Thanks much.

I am using the Huddles AO and have no problems with running in place...I just walk and it works..

Thanks for the links, everyone - got the ZHAOII to work fine!

Just one question - I actually quite like the SL default standing pose. If I'm using the ZHAO and want to add some other standing poses, can I somehow include the default pose in my list? Obviously, I know I can just the AO off altogether, but can I have something like:

[Standing]Standard SL pose|Model pose 1|Model pose 2

so that I can just select the standard one form a set when I don't want to be ironic?

Yes, you can do that with ZHAO-II. The names for the standard SL animations are here:

http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=animation

Thanks for the quick response, Ziggy - but according to that list the default walk animation is called "walk".

However, if I add that to the list I get an error message when I load the notecard saying "ZHAO-II: Warning: Couldn't find animation 'walk' in inventory", and there's no animation of that name that I can copy over to the contents tab.

Ignore that warning. It's just a warning, but it will play the SL built in animation. I use 'backflip' as my jump animation so I know. I get the error when it loads, in case it's an animation that I misspelled, but the AO still works.

What Keiki said (in fact, IIRC I added that feature to ZHAO-II based on her feedback )

It's a warning, not an error. The warning is there so you can catch a typing error. It's difficult to differentiate between a typo and a built-in anim without making the script remember the name of every built-in anim, and the script is really low on memory. So, I settled for a "Hey, are you sure this is what you wanted" message. For most people it will catch a typo. For people who know that they're specifically including a built-in anim, it can be ignored.

Keiki and Ziggy - thank you very much!

Of course, that does work perfectly. What fantastic customer support, especially on a free product Thank you for your kindness, Ziggy, it's much appreciated.

I got the Huddles product to work but it was a nightmare. I repeatedly went to the website for answers. The answer was close but not quite there. I figured out how to load a notecard but nothing about how to edit or fill in the card. What puncuatation is required etc.

I think you could have a great product but it does too much. Three screens of cryptic little graphics, some a red, some are green, some work when you click, some don't. The function key feature looks awesome but no idea how to acitvate it or make it work.

I set up the ZHAO II in about thirty min and I was off to the races. I was able to easily load all of the ABRA - animations and they all work. It still has that walk in place effect when I stop walking.

Thanks for the help everyone.

PS, where can I find a .... (nevermind LOL)

Sounds like you took a 'walking' animation and set that up as your 'standing' animation. The AO script does not know which animation does what, it'll play what you tell it to. So you can do all kinds of wacky things if you set it up that way.

I would suggest double-checking what you typed into the notecard, and making sure that your standing animations are correct.

Glad you got one of them to work, CX! Maybe the ABRA walk animation has some problem with it? I don't know, but you could try contacting the creator to ask about it

My final word on this TOPIC:

The nice folks at HUDDLES gave me a full refund on the device I purchased. They made every effort to help me understand the interface. I am not the sharpest crayon in the box nor the brightest.

They have a fine product and I apologize for any statements I made that gave the product a bad reputation.
