StartAnimation Question

I just need to know how to make something play one animation or another, or another.
For example, I have something that when I hit DOWN an animation plays. How can I get that same key to trigger a different animation either at random or every other time the key is pressed?

Just use llStartAnimation. See . If you are planning to offer users a choice of animations, one of the best ways is to load the animation names in a list and then use the list to key choices in a llDialog call, from which you trigger the chosen animation. See . There are short examples on each of the two pages I referenced, so you can get an idea of how to do the job.

I know how to make it play one animation, I'm no tlooking for anyone to have choices, no clicking, no choosing.

Example again, I hit PgDn, animation one plays, I hit PgDn again, animation 2 plays and so on.

I already have it working with just one animation.

Thanks for the reply tho.

list animations = ["animation1", "animation 2"];
integer animation;


Now, instead of calling llStartAnimation("Animation1", call llStartAnimation(llList2String(animations, animation)), and then at the end of the touch_start() event add "animation = !animation".

Thanks, I almost got it, I think. My script uses on_rez(integer start). I'm guessing that's where I add the "animation = !animation". but I'm getting syntax errors. So exactly where do I put "animation = !animation", in what way after the start or am I just in the wrong spot in the script?

I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning, but the script saves if I leave out "animation = !animation" but animation 1 plays every time.

You need to make it a whole statement. "animation = !animation;" with a semicolon at the end.

Ok, but again the script does not have any touch_start in it.

on_rez(integer start)
animation = !animation;

The above does not work. "animation = !animation;" will save in other places, but then again only one animation will play.

I could show you the script if you like, I'd rather send it to you in world but here. But either way, is there some other place you'd know for sure the "animation = !animation;" is supposed to go?

Thanks!

OK, in whatever event you have the animation playing, change the animation you play (by toggling the "animation" variable with "animation = !animation;" at the _end_ of that event.

The code listed in your message does not compile because an event must be a block.

Working perfect now, thank you Argent for your help!
