Hello, I just downloaded QVanimator, Daz and a few other tools, and am trying to teach myself a few animation things in order to get a series of poses that I need for a larger project. I am working on a "18th Century Set" of poses, that will do the following:
1) Raise a goblet in toast.
2) Inhale a pinch of snuff, and sneeze violently.
3) throw dice.
4) Kiss someone's hand. (this already exists, I know)
5) Smoke a pipe (this also likely already exists)
My question is.. can I "bundle" 5 separate anims into an object like "Multitool" that allows you to do multiple things, like hug and kiss? Obviously, the answer is "yes", but I was wondering how one went about it?

H. Sorry I can't help you with your actual question, but Ordinal Malaprop already has a pretty cool snuff / sneeze animation packaged with a snuffbox.

Pack all your anims into the HUD or poseball you want to use, and use llStopAnimation() and llStartAnimation() to control what anims are playing. http://rpgstats.com/wiki/index.php?title=ExampleAnimationBasic

The short answer is that you script it. You make an attachment with all the animations in it and a script to play the animations. Look at free hug attachments to see how this is done.
