Can't find animation error

I am using a dialog menu to select animation. The menu is generated by the scritp reading the anmatons for contents. So I know that it is correct, but when an animation is selected an error flag pops up follow quicky by the playing of the animation is says it cannot find. If is cannot find it how does it play it.

<CODE>
float time = 30;

integer channel = -1; //Initial communication channel
integer perm; //Permission to animate AV
integer totalAnima; // Total number of animations

list animaList; // List of animations
list main_menu;
list menu1;
list menu2;
list menu3;
integer next;
integer back;

string animaName; // Name of the current animation
string animaNew; // Name of next animation

init()
{

if(llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_ANIMATION) == 0)//Make sure we actually got something to pose with.
{
llWhisper(0,"Error: No animation found. Cannot pose.";
animaNew = "sit";
}
else
{
totalAnima = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_ANIMATION);
// llOwnerSay((string) totalAnima + "*";
animaList = [];
integer i;
for(i=0;i< totalAnima; i++)
{
animaList=animaList+llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ANIMATION,i);
}
if(totalAnima <= 11)
{
//llOwnerSay((string)llGetListLength(animaList));
//llOwnerSay((string) totalAnima);
//llOwnerSay("menu1";
menu1 = llList2List(animaList,0,-1);
menu1 = menu1 + ["Main"];

Hi!

You have your CODEs enclosed in angle brackets, <>. They should be enclosed in square brackets, [].

Also, I think people prefer the result of the PHP and /PHP, for some reason.

integer totalAnima; // Total number of animations

list animaList; // List of animations
//...
string animaName; // Name of the current animation
string animaNew; // Name of next animation

Consider writing better and more descriptive variable names, that way you don't need to write comments explaining what they actually do.

avActions()
{
    if(animaNew !="")
    {
        llStopAnimation(animaName);
        llSleep(0.5);
    }
    llOwnerSay(animaNew);
    llStartAnimation(animaNew);
    animaName = animaNew;
}

You don't need a llSleep in there.

    on_rez(integer prim_params)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }

You don't need a llResetScript here.

    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION | PERMISSION_ATTACH);
        llListen(channel, "", llGetOwner(), "");
        init();
    }

You should put the listen in the run_time_permissions event handler.

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        //llOwnerSay(name + "   " + message);
        if(id == llGetOwner())
        {
            llStopAnimation(llGetAnimation(llGetOwner()));

This is incorrect. The function you're wanting is llGetAnimationList to get the list of animations currently playing on the avatar.

                llStopAnimation(llGetAnimation(llGetOwner()));

Same problem as above.

                llSetTimerEvent(10); ///8888888888888888888

Why write a meaningless comment? Are you paid by quantity of code?

                     llStopAnimation(llGetAnimation(llGetOwner()));
                     llDialog(llGetOwner(), "Choose Animation", menu2, channel);
                     return;

Same problem again.

    changed(integer change)
    {        
        if(change == CHANGED_INVENTORY)
        {
            llOwnerSay("Script Reset");
            init();
        }
    }

Why do you tell the owner that the script has been reset, when it's NOT reset?

While I appreciate your attempt to help me writing better code. I should had said that several things were the to try to track down problems and will be removed later. However. I do not see anyting that you have said explains the error code.

If you want to get people look at your code in the forums here, you would do well to use the correct vBulletin codes, as I explained in my previous post. Doing so will preserve the indentation and make the code be syntax colored, thus making things easier on the people you are wanting to get help from.

I'd try to add a check that you've got permission to animate before you call the animation. So in the avAnim() function if(perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) llStartAnimation(...

I have absolutely NO idea why this works and your method doesn't, but it does appear to make a difference sometimes.

The other way to do it would be to restructure that so it asks for the attach permission on rez, and the permission to animate in the avAnim() function (since it's already attached it doesn't need that any more, and it shouldn't fall off) then trigger the anim in the run_time_permissions you get triggered this way...

That said if you've just tped I've had a similar error from an animator. Since it seems to be related to tping I've always blamed the asshat server for not having loaded the anims yet, maybe that's what's affecting you?

As Angela pointed out, llStopAnimation(llGetAnimation(llGetOwner())); is what's causing the error. If you're trying to stop all animations, use llGetAnimationList, which returns a list of all anims playing, then step through the list stopping each one.

For that matter, llGetAnimation doesn't get your animation's name but state. It is used by triggers to play your animation. To play or stop animation, you need the name or key of the animation.

That as helpful information. Sorry about the formating, just for got how to do it. Anyway got it working with your help.
