Animated furniture problem.

Hi, all! Hope you can help - I've done a typical noob thing and need to be bailed out LOL...

Got all excited and went furniture shopping....starting placing the animated furniture...tried it out...worked great...all the scripts run - avatars happy...no problem.

However, I decided I didn't want a piece in the house anymore - to move it, I right clicked and did the "take" back into the inventory...now...PROBLEM

Somehow, I've separated the scripts from the objects...when I put the object back out in my space...no script...suddenly the piano is just a large paperweight...

I"m sure there's an easy way to reconnect the scripts and the objects...but I haven't found it yet...so I hoped that you could help....

(NOT looking forward to buying another piano LOL)

thanks!

Hi Corrine, welcome to the forums! A couple of things:

> Do you have "copy" permissions on this piano? I have the Musical Alchemy one, and it is copyable. So, instead of 'taking' the original back, you can just delete it and put a new one out.

> Now, have you checked for an invisible object where the piano was? My piano has an invisible box as part of it. In the view menu, turn on "Highlight Transparent". Everything that has an "alpha texture" (i.e. is at least partially transparent) will now be highlighted in blurry red, and you can select these things, and take or delete them.

p.s. In future, for this sort of how-does-this-object-work question, Resident Answers would be a better place to post. This subforum is populated by folks who need help figuring out how to make new animations

Thanks for the quick answer! I'll go give all that a try...and sorry for the misplacement of the post...
