Avatar distance with hugs

Hello,

when I am using my huddles to initiate hugs most of the time both avatars stand way too close together so their both bodies are in the same position.

I am aware that this probably is related to the fact that the animation itself changes the visible position while the real xyz-pos still is the same so its pretty hard to set a global distance that works for every anim.

So I was wondering if it would be possible to add an (optional) parameter to the hug-macro that defines how far both avatars should stand apart for the animation to look best.

Also it would be great to have the option to initiate the hug through chat (eg. "/99 <hugname> <part of the targetname>" as its done with most dedicated huggers.

...and yes, I know this is a really bad time to ask since you just released the 1.2.0 update

I really wish I could add a parameter like that. Unfortunately, SL doesn't allow us to move around avatars with via a HUD. The only real option that we use for HUGs is to press the avis together, so it depends on the animation creator to make the animations work right under those conditions. I know I did a lot of adjust for just the simple hug animation I included.

Drats - dont ya love LSL?

So I suppose if I rip out an animation-couple from another HUD attachment they should be "position compatible" since they cant define a distance either and therefor need to adjust the position inside the animation?

...and how about the chat-command?

Thanks for answering
