creating a script that rezzes or animates

Hi i've seen where there are objects (such as some of the pregnancy bellies) that allow you ot rez an object into your hand. I would like some advice on making an object that can rez an object or plays an animation by voice command.

I assume i have to make a channel listener.
then a controller that can look for the animation or object and depending on which it fnds play or wear item.

Does this sound about right? is there any script out there that might get me started?

You would use the llRezObject function to rez a object. As for playing an animation by voice command, you would use a speech gesture. Some example ones are in your inventory under Library -> Gestures -> Speech Gestures.

i am filling an object with animations. What i want to do is be able to say the name of an animation such as say jump_high or /123 jump_high and the script look through the objects inventory for Jump_high. That kind of thing.

I guess what i need to know first is how do i fill a list with the contents of a objct.

I found this script which seems to do something like what i want. Looking at changing the animation list.

lists eat up a lot of memory.

In your case it is most likely better to approach this in a different way.

If you just want to animate your avatar then you can just search through the inventory items of the prim in question that are animations and look for the one you want when you need to do it. And then play it. And also remember the last played animation so you can properly stop it after starting the next one.

Not using lists will not limit you to how much memory your script has available to store the lists but lets you use as many animations as you can cram into the objects inventory. Searching through the inventory will likely be even faster than having to go through lists.
