Disclaimer - Sorry, I'm not a builder so if you want to answer my question please keep that in mind.. LOL Thanks in advance for your patience.

I have a nice dance animation. It's NOT one that you can drop in your house and ..boom, theres anice ball there for any of your guest to hop on. It looks like its one that you use for a personal dance hud. However I want to put it on top of my bar for guest to use. How might I go about doing that? I was hoping to get a pretty ball so guest can see the dance anim on top of the bar. Any direction you can give is appreciated....THANKS! XD

I think you can just take a dance ball (the kind that many people can click to use) and put the animation inside its contents tab.

I have a free one that works but I haven't tried changing any of the dances inside it, it is mod/copy so you can change it to look however you like. Sent you a copy in world.

OK Sylvester, this is the perfect opportunity to learn to build something. In fact, this is about as easy as building gets.

First of all, get yourself a poseball script. If you do not have one, IM me and I will give you one.

Make sure you are in an area where you can build and open the Build menu by clicking Build at the bottom of your screen.

In the window that opens, click on the sphere, the second button from the right. Then click on the ground. A sphere will appear.

Select the Object tab in the build window. Change all 3 Sizes (x, y, and z) to be 0.200.

Click on the Content tab in the build window. Drag your new poseball script from your inventory into the Contents area. Then drag your dance animation file from your inventory into the Contents area as well.

Close the Build window. Right-click your new poseball and select Sit. You should begin dancing.

You can make the ball pretty by changing the texture and color in the Build window.

You also may need to change the height of the ball off the top of the bar by grabbing the blue arrow when in Edit mode and moving it up and down.
