Is there a way to open an avatar's mouth and keep it open?

The only animations you can apply to the face and hands are the gestures when uploading, but this is still a little buggy itself. Hopefully it will be option further down the road...

I've seen animations with the mouth opening and then closing, but I've also seen them open and stay open, trying to figure out how to do that for a friend's animation.

lol I honestly have no idea what it's for, just someone asked me and I didn't know so I figured this was the place to post the question.

"Expression_open_mouth" is a built-in animation. You can do this animation by scripting. But this animation is open and close. It might be possible if you wrote script so that the same next animation could keep starting and replacing before the mouth started to close.

here is a script that will keep the mouth open

CODE

default
{
 attach(key on)
    {
        if (on != NULL_KEY)
        {
            integer perm = llGetPermissions();
            if (!(perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION))
            {
                llRequestPermissions(on, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
            }
            else
            {
                llSetTimerEvent(0.5);
            }
            
        }
    }

run_time_permissions(integer perm)
{
        if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
        {
            llSetTimerEvent(0.5);
        }
}


timer()
    {
        llStopAnimation("express_open_mouth");
        llStartAnimation("express_open_mouth");
        
        
    }
}

Thank you Gattz,

I made sure it worked fine. And I found it sound like speaking if we made llSetTimerEvent more delayed. ;)

Talking script
05-17-2006 20:04
From: Gattz Gilman
here is a script that will keep the mouth open

CODE

default
{
 attach(key on)
    {
        if (on != NULL_KEY)
        {
            integer perm = llGetPermissions();
            if (!(perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION))
            {
                llRequestPermissions(on, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
            }
            else
            {
                llSetTimerEvent(0.5);
            }
            
        }
    }

run_time_permissions(integer perm)
{
        if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
        {
            llSetTimerEvent(0.5);
        }
}


timer()
    {
        llStopAnimation("express_open_mouth");
        llStartAnimation("express_open_mouth");
        
        
    }
}



If this script can be done, I ssuppose one that opens the mouth and closes the mouth a few times, to simulate talking, could be made? I's not good with scripts, but would like one that does about 2 seconds worth of opening and closing, like talking. Would be great if it could be triggered by by a keystoke, or signal text like /talk.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm afraid that it is too slow and flat to look like talking. See this thread to get more information.

Doesn't seem to work!

Sorry for dragging up this old topic, but this doesn't seem to work for me. The mouth continually opens and closes each time the animation is started again. Has something changed? Is there a new solution? Thanks!

It is working again... Sort of...

Second Life 1.18.0 (6) Jul 11 2007 11:18:55 (Second Life Release)

I just tried this and it is working again for me.

Well actually. the express animation takes. but I can't stop it.
I have tried express_open_mouth and express_afraid
not sure which one stuck, but even Tools > Stop All Animations will not clear something.
Sigh...
