Simple AO problems!

Hello. Im in the process of scripting a typing AO for my honey but Ive ran into a little problem. Mainly..... It doesnt work.

This is what I have

__________________________________________________


// Type animation and sound names within the quotation marks
string anim_name = "PDAtyping";
string sound_name = "PDA";

key kowner;

default
{
state_entry()
{
kowner = llGetOwner();
llRequestPermissions(kowner,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
}
changed(integer change)
{
if(change & CHANGED_OWNER) kowner = llGetOwner();
}
timer()
{
if (llGetAgentInfo(kowner & AGENT_TYPING)
llStartAnimation(anim_name);
llPlaySound(sound_name, 1.0);
}
}

If I use llDetectedKey instead of llGetOwner it requests permissions to override the avatar's animations but doesn't change the animation. Then if I use llGetOwner it just doesnt do anything.

Any sujestions?

Thanks

Well, for one thing, you have a blank space interrupting the word ANIMATION in that script. "PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANI MATION" should be "PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION".

I knew that... Honest o


Edit::

Musta' sprang up as I was putting it into the forum.... Going back to my script its not there!

Your 'timer' handler should also be examined closely. The 'if' statement has a syntax error, may be testing the wrong value depending on where the missing right-parenthesis actually is, and will play the sound every time without curly braces on the 'if' statement (I recommend ALWAYS using braces, even for one-line control statements).

Hmmm Ive played around with the script and still cant get it working. *blushes* Part of the problem was that little tick box in the bottom left corner! *Snickers*

Heres the updated snippit.

}
timer()
{
if (llGetAgentInfo(kowner) & AGENT_TYPING)
llStartAnimation(anim_name);
// llPlaySound(sound_name, 1.0);
}
}

One problem is that the AO doesnt play (One thought is that the animation is too low a priority. Im gonna work on that now but the other problem is that the sound starts playing every .1 second which I can under stand it doing if Im typing But it starts playing the sound even if Im not typing :/

Any idea's?

string anim_name = "PDAtyping";
string sound_name = "PDA";

key kowner;


default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		kowner = llDetectedKey(0);
		llRequestPermissions(kowner,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
		llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
	}
	changed(integer change)
	{
		if(change & CHANGED_OWNER) kowner = llGetOwner();
	}
	timer()
	{
		if (llGetAgentInfo(kowner) & AGENT_TYPING)
		{
			llStartAnimation(anim_name);
			llPlaySound(sound_name, 1.0);
		}
	}
}

It is your if bracket. You don't need a bracket IF there is only one action, but with two or more, you need to enclose it. The way you had it, llPlaySound is outside of the test and would play every time the timer was triggered.

UPDATE:

Got it working
