Hi, I'm looking for stand-animations that leave my typing visible, so that others still see me type (I think they are called low priority animations).
I hate it when I cant see the other person type, and I dont want to do the same.
I tried some, even bought some, but up till now they all make me just stand.
Any suggestions?

How SL looks at animations is like this:
-It looks at the first frame and uses that as reference position for the rest of the animation, SL does not include the first frame in your actual animation -Then it looks at the second frame, and anything that hasnt moved from the first frame, that body part gets its priority set to -1, no matter what priority you upload at Now, anything with a -1 priority you will only see playing if no other animation is moving that body part. So, if you want the typing animation to play through your stand anim, try making it so all the joints in your arm do not move between frame 1 and 2. Note that this will let all animations move your arms as well, including putting your arm out when you edit objects. _____________________

tnx for explaining, it becomes clearer now.
But I dont want to make them myself, I'm looking to buy them. So far, none of them show me typing.. There have to be SOME animation creators that do have that? |

So, if you want the typing animation to play through your stand anim, try making it so all the joints in your arm do not move between frame 1 and 2. Note that this will let all animations move your arms as well, including putting your arm out when you edit objects. It's not that complicated. You can just make it priority 2 and it will play the typing whether you have moved the arms or not. The default stand doesn't come through, but emotes and other animations do override it. Riffey4 - you might try asking for priority 2 stand AOs in the products wanted forums, as where that's where this sort of question belongs. I have an AO set called coy in my shop that are priority 2 except for the sits. _____________________

Hiya Riffey
I will happily offer you Priority 2 versions of any of my poses - have a look at the vendors in my Elgyfu's Emporium in Fujin and if you want any I will do you lower priority versions. There are some nice (I hope) male ones Anyone else who wants them - just hoot |
