A sitting problem...

I make furniture, and I'm sick and tired of having my avatar lean back through the back of the chair whenever I'm typing in the chat window.

Even though I get the pose right, position it, etc I don't know how to make my avatar SITT STILL IN THE CHAIR!!

please can someone help me out.
I'm not a very good scripter myself, I usually just copy/paste and modify excisting scripts..
So if anyone feels up to the challenge of helping me I would be very happy! ^^

You mention scripting ... this is an animation issue, not a scripting issue.

It means that when the animation itself was created, the creator either didn't change some of the avatar joints from the default position at the beginning of the animation (frame 2), or the animation was uploaded to SL with a priority lower than the default "typing" animation which SL uses.

Another example of this is one of the free female AO standing poses where one of the avatars wrist moves her hand up and down when she types, although all the rest of the avatar uses the AO animation pose.

You can also turn off the typing animation alltogether via your client menu, under debug options ... set 'play typing animation' as 'false'.

Thanks alot! ^^
That solved my problem.
*happy*

If you turn off the typing anim in your client settings I think other people still see the problem on their clients. So if you are making furniture, your customers will still see the same problem if they haven't turned off typing. If you're uploading higher priority anims then that should fix the issue for everyone.

Eep!

IMO, the offered suggestions aren't a solution but obscuring the problem as the problem is not priority at all!

Why not make the pose properly instead of breaking other animations?

It sounds like the AV is actually laying backward, then bent at the waist to appear upright, so when the AV types, the back straightens and appears incorrect because of the bad hip rotation.

A properly made pose can still allow the AV to type and doesn't need to be a higher priority. (Which can break typing replacers, purses, drink/food poses, etc.)

The simple solution is to not rotate the hips back like that!

Instead, how about keeping the hips mostly upright, bending the legs from the hips and keeping good posture, so then the typing animation works nicely, like in other furniture?
