i recently was in the making of new shoes and explored the new maitreya gold line shoes and they have a build in AO with an Animation (called Ankle Lock) which has indeed a priority of 5. Anyone knows how to make these? I assume its a hack but how to reach that?
I only came across a priority of 4 by now.
thank you

they aren't priority 5, they are 4, however the trick is that when an animation of the same prority is played over top of another, the last one played wins (at least for the joints it affects)
so the trick is just to keep replaying the priority 4 animation repeatedly via script on a fast timer, to layer it on top of any other animation.

Edit SecondLife/skins/default/xui/en-us/floater_animation_preview.xml
Look for a spinner with label="Priority" and change max_val="4" to max_val="6"
I believe 6 is the highest priority currently supported

heyas;
i uploaded a p6 animation to the beta grid, but was disappointed to see that a p4 animation overrode it, just as if it were a p4 animation. actually, i didn't see if the behavior on the main grid was the same. in this particular case, i had designed for a p4 anyway, so it didn't really matter.
im me and remind me to test it, and i will tell you for sure; if i don't get back to here.

Seems like you would be able to tell the priority easily enough with Anim Info.

Yeah, you can set the base priority higher with the XML tweak, but there is other code in the viewer that forces everything back down to 4. There is a special exception for turn_180, the viewer does this by adding it to the list of playable animations but not registering it.

Yep, verified with some scientific tests that they are forced back down to priority 4 internally. There is definitely some code that is forcing it back down.

how did maitreya made their priority 5 animation play on top of every other priority 4 animation? Its definitely not a script involved (spamming animation stack with the ankle lock)
since the animation works on its own the same when played from the inventory without the help of a script!
I was making my own priority 5 animation and like told before its getting capped to 4 when played in the viewer, which means any pri 4 animation playing on top overrides it.

somewhere i was reading that sl uses local priorities for the limbs in the format the animations where stored on the server. And it is possible to download these as xml and reupload them after editing the local priorities. Might this be the cause for the maitreya animation to work? A theoretical approach might be having only the ankle rotation at priority 5 and the rest at a lower priority, so it maybe will pass the viewer capping.
(Besides this on the sl wiki its said P5 work in sl and they refer to the turn_180° animation, its interesting to see how bad the documention of sl actually is, not only in this case)
Just in case anyone is able to do that pls contact me i will pay well for a full perm version of a working animation in p5 like the ones used in the maitreyas.
