Discussion: Walking script

This is a script for moving while sitting on an object, it can be used for things like walking upside down, on or through walls, or other stuff that requires control over the avatar's rotation and position(with a few modifications).

Usage:
To use it rez a cylinder or something and put the script inside. By default it's using built-in SL animations. To rotate it to walk at funny angles, just click it, this can be disabled in the settings.

Settings:
To use other animations, put them inside the object together with the script, and type in their names in the settings section in the script. Example configuration: If you want to run at 5 times the default speed instead of flying when you are in the air, you can change FLYANIM to a running animation and FLYSPEED to 5.

Use on prim ground, floors etc. is not currently supported.

Nice script zepp,

wow this seems to be the best solution to a problem i'm having short of animating it myself, though it isnt nearly as stable as the normal movement and I keep veering to the left for some reason... I've been slightly confused ^^;

Hi,

The script below when put into a prim, sat on, and after pressing the forward arrow key, does not make me move. Am I incorrect that I should be able to walk by pushing forward after sitting on a prim with this code in it?

Thank you
