LL Built In Animations

Hi All,
Apologies in advance if this is explained somewhere - I may be just dumb and unable to find it so advice would be appreciated.
Before even venturing into the complexities of animation creation, can someone tell me - is there a simple way of actually seeing what the LL built in animations actually look like without complex scripting?
I've been on the Wiki and seen the list of animation names but would like to see them all in action on my avatar.
Thanks in anticipation.

As far as I know viewing the built-in animations requires running them from a script, but I think I've seen scripts before where you just call out the name of the animation and it is played. Heck, I could write you such a script right now except that I'm kinda under the weather today and don't feel like doing anything even remotely productive

Hmm, sounds like a useful little freebie tool, easy to write if you already have anim scripts. If nobody beats me to it, I'll cook one up next time I'm ingame. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has done it already, though.

For expressions, there's FaceAnimCube (or something like that, IIRC). A freebie you can find at your favorite warehouse.

You mean these? http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Internal_Animations

Just a llStart/StopAnimation with the animation name should make these work - you don't need the animation file itself.

Hi All,
Thx for replies so far.
Johan - sry you're not feeling great. Impressed that you can be bothered to post telling me you can't be bothered! lol

Lear - I've actually for the first time in my Life, R or S, found a gap in the market?? Yay! Shame I'm such a novice I can't do anything to exploit it. I'm a beginner here and even a basic script is beyond me until I get my head round it a bit more.

Meade - Yes, those are the ones I'm referring to. I'll take your word for it but see my comment to Lear above - even 'Just a llStart/StopAnimation' is somewhat alien to me at the moment.

The Freebie Tool idea sounds great so I'm prepared to flirt outrageously with Lear on the offchance that this might encourage him to 'cook one up' for me.

Flutters eyelashes and looks coy.......... Don't suppose that's one of the built in animations I haven't seen yet??

I haven't tested it in-world but you can try dropping this in a cube..

i discovered just chatting the name of the built in animations will make them play as well. I once pasted a list of them to someone in chat, and they all played simultaneously O.o it was a truly surreal experience.

Active gestures?

Hi Meade,
Appreciate your efforts. Did what you said - being of small brain, I rezzed a cube, ctrl/c'd the text you wrote and pasted it into a new script in the content tab. Tried to save and it reports (0,0) : ERROR : Syntax error. Just sits there - looking wooden - bit like how I feel!
Looks as if this stuff's beyond my feeble intellect!

Drifter, make sure you do not include the

 and 

when you copy Meade’s script.
It worked for me

Meade,
Apologies. Belated thanks for your help - not been in world and applying myself to my intentions of understanding/learning animations!
Thanks too, DaQbet - you were right - the

 refs is what was stopping it functioning.
Very useful to me.

:)
