Eeek!

Ok pleaseee will someone message me back and make my sl world ( and sometimes rl world ) much happier!!!

Im in DIRE need of twitchy ear and swishy tail scripts :/ ..and seeing as i BARELY scraped passing maths and basic logic in school i need some kind persons help. lol

please please pleaseee! I just really need some cute continious twithy ear scripts and a nice side too side swishy movement but nto a robotic movement...

*waits biting nails*

thanks

Sandy

These will generally have to be custom made for the ears and tail that you have (at least I would expect) as the scripts that control them would rely on their geometry to get a reproduceable 'look' from the results.

I think you'd be better off finding a neko avatar or ears/tails that come pre scripted and piecing together from those. Not sure how much people charge for that stuff though, or how much you desire to learn scripting to sort out your particular attachments.

Just my 2c.

hey thanks for u reply ...I have a few tails that have scripts in them that are no mod or trans but copy but im sure i cant use those lol..And thing is noone i know can script for it and people i ask that CAN dont get back toome so im kinda stuck ...with non swishing tails ! lol

here's a very simple tail "Twitch" that I have for a snake avatar which will flick the root of a flexi tail attachment more or less randomly. the llSleep() and llSetTimerEvent() commands are tweaked for a specific list of settings for my snake avatar's flexi tail, so you may have to adjust them faster or slower for your particular build.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        //llSay(0, "My Rotation is " + (string)llGetLocalRot());//Debugging shiz
        llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(3)+8);//Causes the wag to happen between 8 and 11 seconds.
    }
    
    
    timer()
    {
        //Math for setting the different rotations
        rotation org=llGetLocalRot();//Saves the starting rotation, this is needed so we can rotate back when we're done.
        vector eul1=<0,35,0>;//Sets the rotation in the typical vector angles.
        vector eul2=<0,0,25.5>;
        vector eul3=<0,0,-25.5>;
        eul1 *= DEG_TO_RAD;//Converts from degree to radians
        eul2 *= DEG_TO_RAD;
        eul3 *= DEG_TO_RAD;
        rotation rot1=llEuler2Rot(eul1);//Converts our vector angles to a rotation quaternion
        rotation rot2=llEuler2Rot(eul2);
        rotation rot3=llEuler2Rot(eul3);
        integer rotnum=llCeil(llFrand(5));//randomly selects an integer between 1 and 5
        if(rotnum==1)
        {
            //llSay(0,"rotation 1");//Debugging shiz
            rotation new=(llGetLocalRot() * rot1);
            llSetLocalRot(new);
            llSleep(5);//causes the script to wait
            //llSay(0,"rotating to " +(string)new);//Debugging shiz
        }
        else if(rotnum==2 || rotnum==3)//makes the 2nd rotation twice as likely to occur
        {
            //llSay(0, "rotation 2");//Debugging shiz
            rotation new=(llGetLocalRot() * rot2);
            llSetLocalRot(new);
            llSleep(4);
            //llSay(0,"rotating to " +(string)new);//Debugging Shiz
        }
        else //Since the number wasn't between 1 and 3 it must be between 4 and 5 so these events will occur. using the else saves script time and memory
        {
            //llSay(0, "rotation 3");//Debugging Shiz
            rotation new=(llGetLocalRot() * rot3);
            llSetLocalRot(new);
            llSleep(4);
            //llSay(0,"rotating to " +(string)new);//Debugging Shiz
        }
        
        llSetLocalRot(org);//Returns the rotation to where it started
        llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(3)+8);//Resets the timer event for a random time between 8 and 11 seconds
    }
}

here is another, much simpler tail wag:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(10)+5);
    }
    
    
    timer()
    {
        rotation org=llGetLocalRot();
        float x=((llFrand(1)-.5)*.13795);
        float y=((llFrand(1)-.5)*.7);
        float z=((llFrand(1)-.5)*.13795);
        float a=((llFrand(1)-.5)*.85773);
        rotation new=org+<x, y, z, a>;
        llSetLocalRot(new);
        llSetLocalRot(org);
        llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(10)+5);
    }
}

wow thanks alot ! ....if anyone has any other scripts for ears ofr tails ill be glad too save them all so i can play around with them..im sure this will benifit others aswell.

O and one thing how do i know how i position the root prim ..i use a cube and make it smaller and then put it at the beginning ( the part that goes into the butt ) but once the script is in there the tail goes different ways ..like not side too side etc
did that make ANY sense? lol

It made sense to me, as I have that issue with door scripting at times.

What I do in that case, and what might work here, is to fiddle around a bit with the rotations of the base prim, in this case, the one holding the script for your "twitch". Turn it till you get it swishing the way you want, and then re-align the rest of the prims so that it looks and moves properly.

*hopes that makes sense, it's early and I haven't had coffee*

It's probably due to how the scripts handles the rotations and the GetRot of the root prim... would have to see the script.
But above all, I recommend going to any of the furry communities in SL... they will surely be able to help you better than us.

I think some furries hang out here too

I do a Swishing Tail product, and no, I'm not going to be posting the script, but it doesn't rely on rotating anything. My Scripting Tip is to consider the flexi vector force value which can be manipulated to cause a flex prim to move. I've found that applying a varying force to the tail gives it a very natural movement.

See: llSetPrimitiveParams PRIM_FLEXIBLE for the ways to control a flexi prim.

I've done that to but its only really good in one prim objects. Any more than that and it looks off, probably because of client side syncing issues. But it is pretty sweet in one prim flexi objects.
