Well I been to many places and stores that sell anims and Im quite disgusted in the 'sexual anim's' that you can find over very simple anims like a anim that show you pressing buttons on a wall or sitting anim's that show you pressing buttons etc. But I guess if people can't 'get any' in RL then I guess they need to fufill their pleasures online lol

Can anyone tell me where there is good animations? No sex positions or sex play anims please.

Specifically I would just like a anim that looks like your pressing buttons on a wall or a panel on the wall...can anyone help?

I think the reason you don't see "simple" animations like button pushing is that they aren't that simple to design. I suppose you could animate a simple arm extended pose and then walk forward until you hit the panel or button, but it would be difficult to align your avatar and the collision with the button wouldn't trigger a touch unless it was scripted that way.

The animation and the button script have to be designed together, so that the touch starts the animation and it all occurs at the right orientation and height. So it would be difficult to sell a one-size-fits all animation.

thats even more than I had in mind. All I need is somthing like the ava's arms moving 'like' theres panels infront of him, or a hologram window thingy infront of him (probably will use just a texture that looks like panels...catch my drift =D). I dont really need the ava scripted to push exact buttons or any scripts for that matter. Just a simple looped anim that almost looks like a dance but basically only the arms are moving infront of him, you know...and maybe the foot tapping that kind of anim. Ive seen some pretty complex anims (sex ones to drunk anims with falls in it, even a dance is more complex then what I need)..I know that what I need something a amature can do..but even I have NO experience in making custom anims.

And also was wondering if there were some good animation stores/malls that anyone knows of.

I don't think there is anyone who sells basic anims of mundane tasks. There are a lot of animations for sex, and dancing, and AO replacements but that's about it. I guess that's an undeveloped niche that no one has filled yet. I suppose the main problem is that if the animation is to be used in a different product they have to be sold full perm or at least copy/transfer which opens it up to being resold or being freely given away.

I'd try the built-in animation "point_you"

Just use "point_you" in the script instead of the name of an animation in inventory. Like this:

llStartAnimation("point_you";);
