I have a particular animation that is a man sitting with both legs up (like to rest on a stool), and lately it does not work as it should, one of the avatars legs ends up in the sofa or chair. Just testing it in the sofa in which it is linked, then unlinking it and it still works, I take it to inventory and rezz again and its doing the glitch again. Any ideas why this may be happening? When I test the animation from inventory (not in a poseball) it works just fine.

Image included. Ont he left is how the animation should play .. on the right (female) is how it is acting


Thanks

Have you removed any AOs? They could cause a conflict.

Yes, I took my AO off instead of turning off and it appeared to make no difference .. once back inworld I will look to see if anything else could be conflicting but i don't think so .. thanks

Edited to add, after talking with the creator of the animation, it appears there is an SL bug that makes this happen occasionally, one sec it works, the next it doesn't .

Our solution was to play the "stand" animation while also playing the troublesome animation

Perhaps it's not an SL bug but a characteristic of the animation: it has a joint that isn't moved between the T frame and first animation frame, so SL ignores that joint in the animation. In that case, you get the result any default anims that play for that situation, which in this case would be a generic sit.

In my work with MLPV2, people frequenltly IM me that MLP scripts aren't working properly for an animation, and most of the time, this is the cause.
