I am working on a project where I need to be able to detect the end of animations. Is there any way to do this in LSL? is there an event that is triggered at the end of animations? or is it possible to set an animation so that it does not trigger untill the current running animation is ended like the sound animations?
I know i could set timers and try to match the framerate but is there an easier way?
Curious in SL. Val Vanek

Sorry, no, as far as I'm aware the only option is to time them (and you can't detect the length of an animation either, you'll have to write it down when you create it or use a stopwatch). Animation queuing would be very useful but it's not present.

Im sort of fiddling with the same question, and am probably going to do it by timing the animations.
But, I am wondering if you can't somehow use llGetAnimationList or llGetAnimation. Perhaps if you do not use looping animations you would be able to detect when a specific animation is no longer playing, and then react to that?

you could continually poll llGetAnimationList to see when the animation no longer shows up in the list (it stopped). However it could potentially be laggy if not done carefully.

If you need the exact time of an animation, you may be able to IM the creators and ask them. They could tell you the number of frames and the frame rate and you could do the math from there.

Somthing I have been doing with sounds which could be done with animations as well format your items like "name,time" so whe you call the item name you also have the time frame with it. Just use llCSV2List then get the second item in the list which would be the time. I usualy just put the time as a float in seconds.
