Stopping the AFK Slump?

Hello all,

Being pretty new to scripting, this question I have is far beyond my ability, but I was hoping that maybe someone here could tell me if the following is possible.

Currently, I play the game full-screen. If I ALT-TAB to desktop, my avatar in game stops whatever he was doing and 'slumps over' in the slumped over AFK animation.

I'd like my avatar to be able to keep on doing what he was doing and NOT do that AFK slump over thing everytime I tab to desktop.

For example, if my avatar is doing a dance animation, or activating a dance animation with another avatar via a dance pose-ball....I'd like to be able to ALT-TAB to my desktop and look something up on the web or in Windows....without having my avatar stop everything and slump over.

Is this something I can handle in a script?

Thanks!

I think the animation played when you're AFK is called "away". You'd just need an animation overrider to cancel it out when it is detected

Oh that would be great! Thankyou!

I'm willing to give that a shot. By chance...can you tell me where I can get an animation override to cancel that out...or perpaps where I can get instructions/tips/samples on building one myself?

Thanks!

Simplest way might be to simply stop the "away" animation continually

Goes in an attachment:

default
{
	state_entry() { llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); }

	run_time_permissions(integer p)
	{
		if (p) llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
	}

	timer() { llStopAnimation("away"); }
}

Ooooh! Oooh! Oooooh! JesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesradJesrad!!

Will this script work for stopping typing anims? And what would we replace "away" with, if we can do so?

Replace it with "type", hopefully this will work ^_^

Thankyou Jesrad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and special thanks for the code snippet....for a newbie like me....that is infinitely helpful I think I'll borrow Psyra's idea and stop that blasted typing animation as well as the 'away' animation.

Thankyou SOOOO much!

Tested, it works ^_^

[Edit]
It might need a on_rez(integer p) { llResetScript(); } line added to it for when you TP, though. Or maybe not

Yep, stopped the typing anim too.
You should wiki this. :>

It's not the best solution but it works the best considering LL hasn't given us a better way.

A better solution would be for LL to give an animated event.

Or simply a way to remap animations
