EZ Animator Deluxe Discusion Thread

This happens regularly when going to a crowded sim (long rez times). The button names get lost although the buttons clearly still operate.

In my opinion, there needs to be a command to reload the button names. Hopefully, it will work once the rez is done.

feature request: another parameter for hugs to change the text that is used to request a hug.

I was wondering about that too. You suggest that one of the reasons we would want the more expensive ez animator is to be able to copy it and have a hud preloaded for different animation sets we want to use. That makes sense to me, however, how do I keep the different huds straight in the inventory?

I'm open to suggestions as I fumble along trying to figure the hud out.

First, when you add a no copy animation to one of the HUDs, it stops copying every time you drag it to the ground, so that helps with the confusion. The other thing is that when the object is on the ground, you can change the name of it. Just right click on the HUD, choose Edit, then hit More and change the name. That's how you can tell them apart in your inventory.

hello,

I purchased a basic huddles hud from you and I cant get it to operate, Ive followed the instructions but still nothing happens. even the dances that came with it do not work. can you help Me. My name is DJDragon Bracken in game.

I will send you an IM, the most common problem that people encounter with the basic is that the remove the scripts. Check out this blog post to see what I'm talking about:

I've already grown out of my basic Huddles....did I read where I could trade up?

If not, I'll just buy the deluxe version, because it's worth it! haha..
...but anyway, i'm just askin.

Thanks for the most useful gadget in sl buddy....

Yes, you may trade up. IM me in world.

Noticed a few threads and quite a while ago there was a Feature request to add "Target" Functionality to Dialogs.. does this exist? I can't seem to get it to work properly.. all my Dialog buttons say "[Target]" rather than the targets name.

well ,i need some help;

i was editing the notecard of my macros, but, when I like to execute a command in a diferent channel, that don't work ... for example ...

some object use the command "on" in channel 9, in the chat, i write :

/9 on

when i like to put this command in a macro of the HUD, use the folowing:

[9]on or [9] on ... or [ 9]on, etc.

but, it doesn't work ..

someone, help me please ...

I bought this great tool recently. Simply said: I LOVE IT!!
Only one small suggestion so far:

It would be very helpful to have the possibility to add comments to the notecards for animations, AO, macros, LM's ....

Maybe just like in LSL ... a line starting with // is ignored as a comment.
Any other character or prefix ( [REM] ? ) would do.

Something easy to implement I guess.

Predikator,

I just tested it ... works without any problems for me with this simple macro-line:
[NAME]test |[9]on

Result observed with a Channel listener:
[Trinity Robson - Ch.9]: on

If you don't get it working, post the complete macro-line you use

How easy is it for me to modify the AO script to include some of the advance features of ZHAO-ll. I would love to get back to using one HUD again. Thanks in advance.

Would love that too!

I just pushed the couple anims from my couple animator to the EZAD and added a notecard "Couple Animations".
There are kisses and hugs and dances.

So the mentioned feature request would be great.

additional feature request: if the emote text at the end of the line left empty it would be better for the EZAD to be quiet instead of the default "/me gives [Target] a hug."

Trinity.. you mentioned in a post above you have a channel listener...

Is that a freebie or copyable object you could send me? Having a lot of problems with some items not hearing the Huddles properly, and I want to be sure the channels are being sent properly.

Thanks

Atriel,I answered your question in an IM in-world, because i don't want to be so impolite to promote other tools in this forum.

I am having so much difficulty with my Huddles now. I have used it for a couple of years, so don't understand it. First, I have several titles that appear to be typed over one another above my Hud when I am wearing it. These are titles to Animations, such as: *AW* Crossed Legs.

The dances were not working correctly. I would choose one and I would use the Male Sit animation. So I downloaded a fresh copy. Took out my purchased animations. Loaded them into the Huddles Content window with the Huddles object on the ground. I added the titles (all spelled correctly) into he AO Config Notecard. Saved the notecard. Took the Huddles into inventory and wore it. Nothing happened. The AV did not use the stands. I had 4 installed into it. I clicked it on and off. Nothing. Although I did not have the overtyped titles appearing over the Hud as before. I decided perhaps I needed to do a /99 reset to compile the scripts to get it to work. Now the AO button will not go to green to turn it on. When I click it to turn it on I get the message that Huddles has given me a Help Notecard.

What on earth am I doing wrong????
Thanks for any suggestions.

Is it currently minimized? If so, the reset confuses it a little. It thinks it's maximized and when you are hitting the AO button, it thinks you mean the help button.

Anyway, here is what you do:

1) Either try clicking the bottom edge of the maximize button a few times.
2) Detach it and attach it to a different HUD location.

This should fix it up right.

And if this advice is no good, IM me in world.

Is there any way to turn off the warning message that was added as a safety feature. After editing my Huddles several times it is more of an annoyance than a help.

While I understand some may like to have the warning about moving non-copy animations to their huddles, I prefer to get on without the extra steps and warnings, in particular if I am modifying more than one of my huddles. (but then again I'm one of those who hates the vista security warnings also)

Not currently. I'll think about a way to incorporate that into the next update.

There is lots of info about the upcoming release of version 1.2.0 on my blog. I'm currently in testing. If you are a user and want to test the new version, first take a look here:

http://imakehuddles.com/wordpress/

then send me an IM.

Ok this might be a really stupid question and I'm prolly overlooking something, but here it goes:

The dances: does huddles switch to the next dance as soon as a certain dance loop has ended or does it have a set time for each dance and then switches to the next? I've been loading my dances and it keeps switching somewhere in the middle of the dances, at least it looks that way to me. Is it possible to make it change to the next dance as soon as another dance has 'ended' so it won't change in the middle of dances anymore? Or can anyone reccomend an interval time that works best with most sine wave dances?

You can set a time interval for each dance on your dance notecard (or just some of them). For any dance you want to add a specific time for add the number of seconds after it, like this:

caramel sundae|20
dip me in butterscotch|15.5
bailey's fog|30.2

Notice that you use decimal places to get even more precise. You could even set up a sequence of animations

cherry delight|10|monkey spanker|17.0|backflip|3.1

You can also add [REPEAT] to the end of the macro and it will repeat indefinitely:

cherry delight|10|monkey spanker|17.0|backflip|3.1|[REPEAT]

The [REPEAT] command will be ignored when in Dance or Random mode though.

Several times now my EZ Animator Deluxe has refused to come out of minimize mode. No matter what I do, nothing seems to work. So I give up in disgust, and then sometime later, hours or days, for no apparent reason it comes "unstuck" and maximizes again. Is there any way to fix this when it happens?

Are you using version 1.1.3? or version 1.2.0? I thought that I got this fixed in version 1.2.0.

If you are using 1.1.3, try clicking the bottom edge of the maximize button or try detaching it and attaching it to a different HUD location.

If you are using 1.2.0, please IM me right away, because it's not supposed to be happening anymore.
