Activating poses in objects

Hmm how do I activate the animation inside the object, and possibly scroll through them every x seconds? I've put all the animations into the objects, and wore the object, but obviously I'm missing something here as the animations aren't playing. A script is required I presume? Or is it something else?
Thanks~

Yes, you need a script. Grab any box of scripts at one of the freebie places; most likely there will be a full perm poseball script in there. You can find one right here in the Scripting Library too. It will need some modifications to work with attachments and to cycle through animations on a timer, but it's not really hard to do if you spend some time on the LSL wiki or ask the cracks over in Scripting Tips.

If you want to wear an object with animations in it, you most likely are describing an Animation Override, or AO. You can get a great AO (without animations in it) free from Ziggy Puff. Look for "ZHAO II".

I've got the same issue. I've had a look at Zhao II but it is a HUD. How do you embed,eg, a walk ao into a wearable object?

You need an ao script and the animation file - the script set up to run the animation. You edit the wearable object - e.g., a shoe and place the script and the animation file into the Contents.

Thanks - I'll try & work that out.
