Maggie Miller has been kind enough to offer a noob like me a job, where she asks for a simple lying-on-a-couch pose. She's been also kind enough to not give me a spesifc deadline, but I feel lt would be wrong to abuseher kindness and trust, so after a few days twitching stuff in Poser, I was ready and done with the animation. And my problems started.

What Maggie wants is for me to attatch the animation to a couch. I have uploaded that animation to SL, and put in the couch, but how do I make it active? Whenever I sit on the couch, I assume the normal sitting position...

And, although I've tried to take note of the hints I received earlier, and pull the animation position downwards in Poser, the AV still hovers in the air in SL.

Below is a couple of pics that explains more.

What am I doing wrong? And what do I have to do about it? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Thanks in advance

No... I don't know how to script yet. Is it a large script?

I too recommend CrystalShard's Pose Ball script, as linked to by Zuzi above. It's simple and elegant. Cal, I'm going to drop a copy of it on you now. :)

Hi everyone, and thanks for all the replies :) I've now fixed the animation, and configured the script, and everything seems to work fine. Thank you all for your patience, and for helping me make this thing possible. :) I learnd a lot during this project, and can't wait to create more of the sort. :D
