Pose stands

Can someone tell me how I can make my own pose stand? Thanks Hectae

It's a matter of inserting a fairly simple script into whatever object you want to use as the stand. If you can't write scripts yourself, look for it in the LSL scripting wiki or, even better, poke around SL for freebies and take one apart. There are zillions of free pose stands out there and they're almost all modifiable.

Thanks for that but could you direct me to either that simple script or a modifiable free pose stand. Many thanks for your assistance Hecate x

OK, I'll do both. This may seem like self-promotion, but try visiting my shop (Sa Roligt!) at and looking for the freebie box that says something like "Free tools to help adjust your clothing for a better fit." There's a pose stand in there.

In case you want to save yourself a trip, here's the standard script that is in most pose stands ......

 
key mkLoungingAgentKey = NULL_KEY;
integer miPermissionsAcquired = FALSE;
default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		//overriden sit target
		//lower them a bit
		vector vLoungeTarget = <0.00, 0.00, 1.00>;
 
		rotation rX;
		rotation rY;
		rotation rZ;
		rotation r;
 
		//build rotations
		//Note: this is broken out like this to simplify the
		//		process of finding the correct sit angle. I 
		//		use the following form until I have the rotation 
		//		that I want perfect, and then I simply 
		//		hardcode the perfected quaterion and remove 
		//		this mess.
		//
		rX = llAxisAngle2Rot( <1,0,0>, 0 * DEG_TO_RAD);		 //cartwheel
		rY = llAxisAngle2Rot( <0,1,0>, 0 * DEG_TO_RAD);	 //sumersault
		rZ = llAxisAngle2Rot( <0,0,1>, 0 * DEG_TO_RAD);	 //turn in place
 
		//combine rotations
		r = rX * rY * rZ;
 
		//override 'sit' on pie menu
		llSetSitText( "Stand" );
		//override default sit target and rotation on prim
		llSitTarget( vLoungeTarget, r );
	}
 
	changed(integer change) 
	{
		if (change & CHANGED_LINK)
		{
			key agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
			if ( mkLoungingAgentKey == NULL_KEY && agent != NULL_KEY ) 
			{
				//changed user
				//cache new user key and request their permissions
				mkLoungingAgentKey = agent;
				 llRequestPermissions(mkLoungingAgentKey,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
			}
			else if ( mkLoungingAgentKey != NULL_KEY && agent == NULL_KEY) 
			{
 
				//user is getting up
				if ( miPermissionsAcquired ) 
				{
 
					//restore anims
					llStopAnimation("turn_180");
 
				}
 
				//reset the script to release permissions
				llResetScript();
			}
		}		
	}
 
	run_time_permissions(integer parm) 
	{
		if(parm == PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) 
		{
 
			//set permission flag
			miPermissionsAcquired = TRUE;
 
			//cancel the sit anim
			llStopAnimation("sit");
 
			llStartAnimation("turn_180");
		}
	}	
}

Click the "New Script" button in the Contents tab in the contents of whatever you make into a pose stand, and copy this text into it in place of the dummy script that SL gives you. Save it and you're done. It should work like a dream.

Thank you for your assistance.
I placed the script as you said but received the syntax error code 48,51
which I believe pointed to these lines. I'm new to code and would appreciate your help

Thanks again

llRequestPermissions(mkLoungingAgentKey,PERMISSION _TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}
else if ( mkLoungingAgentKey != NULL_KEY && agent == NULL_KEY)
{

I don't know anything about scripting but i could be that you need to remove the space after permissions ~> PERMISSION _

Hmmm..... There's nothing wrong with either line -- not too surprising, since the whole thing was simply cut and pasted from a working script -- so my guess is that it has to do with an extra line break somewhere. Check this.... The line that starts with "llRequestPermissions" ends with the semicolon after "PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)". That's all one line. If it isn't in yours, make it one. See if that helps.

Or go to my shop and pick up a freebie to take apart.

Perfect....works a treat many thanks. There was a slight gap between a word and a hyphen.

ps lovely shop you have
