I would really like the option to stop my avatar from moving all over the place. It gets a little annoying when you are trying to adjust the position of small attachments like eyebrow rings and your avatar is moving around like crazy.

default { attach(key attached) { if(attached!=NULL_KEY) { llMoveToTarget(llGetPos(),0.1); } } }
put it in an object, and then attach it. it will keep you in one place.

you can wiggle when you have it attached, but that is about it.

From: someone Originally posted by Nada Epoch put it in an object, and then attach it. it will keep you in one place. But I don't think that will stop your head or eyes from whipping around, following the mouse pointer. Also, I do not think it will stop your whole body from contorting around if you are playing one of the aiming animations (which makes it hella hard to position guns and bazookas correctly, hella).

right, it doesn't make your avatar rigid, it just locks the center of mass in to one position. you could try a status_rotate_ flag, but i think given the problems with RotTarget and Contol() it probably will not do anything.

Yes, please.
Camera control during avatar-editing would also be very nice.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. When you select an attachment in order to adjust it, the avatar stops moving. Are you selecting it and clicking on the edit pie menu option or modifying it in some other way?

Well, when i was having this probelm, i was making some new eyeballs for my avatar. I wanted to size them right so I moved them right onto my avatars eyes. But it was annoying because my avatar wouldn't keep still. Since we're limited in how much editing we can do while something is attached, it would be nice to hold the avatar still so we can size stuff right off of the avatar.

Nada you're close. Appearance mode is the direction we're going in Richard, where our avatar is at it's stiffest so we can easily adjust certain attachments. However, even in appearance mode the body still twitches and so do the eyes. What we want is something where every single tiny aspect of movement on our avatar will COMPLETELY freeze. Infact, have this be a permenant gesture, like sitting or AFK. Have it be a permenant state that we can put our avatars in. And yes, we are just right clicking on objects and editing them while they are attached to our bodies. No, this does not freeze our avatar to the point that we are asking you for, it only sorta kinda stops their movement at the present time. This would be awesome to have, hope you can pull through with it

Hmmm, ok, I found a couple of bugs related to editing attachments that would make your avatar try to look at the attachment. I'll try to fix that ASAP.
