Interacting with a hug or a kiss

oh, I will certainly be giving the pose balls a try. But first and foremost, I really want to get my walk straightened out.

It's like I am not allowed to have a custom walk at all. That scripted one does not work even though I did all the things necessary. Then I went and bought another one. It said it was all pre-configured and ready to go, all I needed to do was click "wear" and it would begin working right away. Well - it didn't. I spent some bucks on that one too!

I use the Avatar Overide from Abranimations. It not only makes my walk very nice, but also replace the default poses of my avatar. There is a male and female version availabe (more then one version if I am correct).

Morwen.

Another great item if you happen to be on land that allows build is the Rendevous (occupies 6 prims). OMG this gadget is amazing. You can walk together including uphill and upstairs, hug, kiss, cuddle, fly/swim together, dance... its got just about everything packed into this one device (no x-rated features, btw). Also has carry and walk animation. Either partner can access the animation menu once you are both on it, but only the operator can navigate the walking/flying/swimming directions.

*blinks*
It seems I have to spend some money tonight....

Morwen.

try logging out of SL and then back in again. that's often fixed issues like that for me.

You have to get your avatar to "read" your notecard -- it's an animset command you need to type into general chat as follows: "/animset *Default Anims" . That should set your anims to the ones on your notecard.

Like many things in SL, there's typically a step involved that may be less than intuitive.

I love my "handshake" attachment if you just met someone...

misti, is the animation over-rider you have the ZHAO model? if so, i'm sure you turned the HUD "on", correct? im not in-world at the moment or i'd help "in person".

also, make sure you didn't accidently create a blank line when you typed in the name of your animation.

maybe you could cut-and-past the first few lines of the "set" notecard from the AO and we could look at it.

You may need to give it a chat command, like '/ao on' (without the quotes). And, if that's the case, '/ao off' when you want to try other animations, whether they're pose balls, dances, or additional poses.

Misti,

Sounds like you're using an old ZHAO. I recently released ZHAO II, the new notecard format is easier to set up, and it has better help and error messages. Please see my profile in-game for the landmark where you can pick up a free ZHAO II. You'll need to move your animation(s) to it, and set up the notecard. If you have trouble with this, feel free to IM me for help.

For anyone who needs it, there is a free hug attachment and a Wet Ikon Animation overider in the box of "Useful Free Stuff" at my store in Shona. It is on the East vendor wall.

Thanks to everyone for the replies and the great information.

For some reason, my walking script just suddenly kicked in. I had been wearing it the last few times I logged in, and it just suddenly started working.

I will try the new ZHAO II and the other items as well!

Ziggy is the Animation Wonder of SL, with his ZHAO and ZHAO II. Listen to the Master!

Start with a firm handshake and work upto a hug.

Hardly. All I did was wrap a little HUD around Francis Chung's Franimation script.

I've been in SL for 15 months and can honestly say I've never had even the slightest urge to give someone a handshake.

A high five maybe, but never a handshake.

I have a company policy that replaces handshakes with high fives. Our meetings end so cool.

(I'm not kidding BTW)

I second what Dementia says about the Rendezvous. They have a free one you can try, it's transfer too. It isn't clunky like the couple animations at Abranimations, it is more like a shared AO. It costs $L3000 ... but i dunno ... it's prolly worth it if you have a significant other! It is WAY cool.

Ok ok... someone gave me a hug and kiss animation in world... *hugs and kisses to you, and thank you! But, I missed who it was from... my screen was a little jumpy at the time, and I completely missed it!

Whoever that was who gave me that.. do you have a note card with the directions of how to use?

thanks again!

i give up ziggy. i'm in your store now and can't find the ZHAO II anywhere. can you give me a hint where in the store they are?

btw, i've been to your store before.. i have some wings and tatts from you. cool stuff.

edit>> nevermind. i finally found it. sorry.

Wasn't me, but...if it's an object (depicted by a little cube), then Wear it. Then, face the person you want to interact with and chat /hug <name>.

Heya Misti,

For the walk, if you don't want to deal with an AO all the time, there are lots of scripted shoes out there. They have the walk animation included in the prims. Just look for "Sexy walk included" in the description of the shoes in the shop. Then you wear not only the little icon that looks like a shoe, but also the two objects in your inventory that are included in the package. Those are prim shoes and go right on your foot. Most women's shoes are set for you to have foot size zero (0) so you'll probably need to resize your feet using the shape sliders (edit/appearance).

Well, yesterday - IW - i found out why everyone likes those little ball thinggy's so much! I was in some dark, depraved place - I tp'd in because they had pose/sex balls that I wanted to check out, right? So I TP in and find myself in some place, it is dark, with red lighting... almost like an alley or something, with some of these ball thinggy's around in boxes. I decided to jump on one that was sitting out there for display... when some man walked up to me... he asked me if I wanted to really try it out. I said, "well, sure, I'm game"

Approximately 20 minutes later - as I stood up, I realized why these are loved and cherished so much around SL!

I said to heck with organizing my inventory - and am spending some time looking for some of the more intuitive ball thinggys!

Hehehe

A tip for you: a good store with a very comprehensive ...erm ... "selection" of these particular kind of pose/anim balls is Tempt Animations. It's located on the Nico Island sim -- and it has like three floors of the things, in various flavours depending on your ... desires ...

Have fun!

I'm as good as there!

Hey!

Somone today, in world, gave me a hug/kiss animation. I logged on and the little blue box told me it was there, and there was an IM from the person who gave it to me.

First, thank you to whoever gave that to me!!

Unfortunately, I didn't actually get it, or have a chance to read the message because as soon as I got connected to sl, I got booted and had to re-log. When I re-logged, the animation and the IM were both gone
