Can't get some animations to work

Hopefully, someone can answer this. I am working on a car and want to use a custom animation for the sit position. However, I can't figure out how to get it to work. Also, I found that some animations seem to work and others don't using the same code. for instance, sit_ground does not work while wave does.

Here are the lines of code:

llRequestPermissions(agent,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION|PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
llStartAnimation("sit_ground";

I have a custom animation I want to use instead of sit_ground.

GOOD DAY TO YOU SUNDI

Did you put the custom animation in the same object contents as the script? Then, it should be a matter of renaming "sit_ground" to "whatever_your_animation_is_called".

That is the first thing I tried. But I tried it again and still nothing. Any other thoughts?

When you use llRequestPermissions, you need to put a run_time_permissions event. Refer to this sample script.
And talking of the simultaneous animations, I guess it is relevant to priority. Although you said, "sit_ground does not work while wave does", didn't it even sit at all?

After some experimentation I figgured out the problem. Aparently, the use of a sit target activates the "sit" animation. So I had to stop the "sit" and then the other animations work properly. The reason some animations worked with the "sit" animation (such as "wave" would be because the "sit" animation does not control the arms.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice. I appreciate how ppl are so willing to help here.
