Activating an animation when clicking an attached object?

I recently made an animation for something I'm working on, and I need the animation to activate when I click the object, then turn off when I click it again, then turn back on if I click it again, etc. How is it done?

Well touch_start() and state changes would be a good start for that

something like

[script]

default
{
touch_start(integer num_detected)
{
//script to start animation here

state on;//moves to on state

}
}

state on
{
touch_start(integer num_detected)
{
//script to stop animation here

state default;//moves back to default state

}
}

[/script]

thats the basics of touches and state changes. You would need to drop in the animation overide scripting into each state.

Also this is just from memory so check the wiki for more accurate uses of states and touches.

That should work I think, but you need to add the llRequestPermissions for PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION

Don't forget to get PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION. With an attachment, it will always be granted without explicitly asking the avatar, but one still needs to get it (and perhaps to have a run_time_permissions() event handler--I think).

Yes I missed out the permissions part due to forgetfulness. You might want to check this thread which discusses some of the same issues.

Thanks, but I think that's for activating the animation whenever anything is clicked.
