I have a few animations, such as a kneel, that when played end up with me hovering in the air. (I am just playing them through double-click/Play in World)

How can I adjust things so the animation places me on the ground? Does this need to be done with a script, and if so how do I reposition the avatar in the script?

Well, the best way to do it would be to make a poseball with the script and animation in it.That way you can adjust it while you're on the poseball and get the position just right. Alternatively with this method you can adjust the offests to get the best position. Downside to this is you can't take it with you without having to adjust it every time you rez the f-ing poseball.

If it's an animation you need to take with you and have with you at all times, things can be a bit more complicated.

If you IM me In World after midnight SL time or tomorrow(Saturday) at some point, I'll be glad to give you a hand with it.

I figured out the problem is caused my my height; animations such as kneels place me above the ground, but if I shrink myself a bit they work fine. I guess this is just one of the downsides of being 7'3" tall. :-)
