Can someone help with this bit of code?

Hi,

I am trying to build my own menu-driven basic dance machine. The menu is all set up, the key of the person who touches the prim with the script in goes into the key variable, dancer, and when I select the first dance on the menu, the listen handler handles the selection like this:

if (message == d1)
    {
        llRequestPermissions(dancer, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); //(a)
        integer perm = llGetPermissions();//(b)
        curAnim = d1;//(c)
        llStartAnimation("Club Dance1"); //(d)
        llSay(0, "The permission is " + (string)perm);//(e)

    }

[\CODE]

I have two questions:

1. Why does the (e) llSay happen BEFORE the Yes button has been pressed to grant permission for my avatar to be animated? (a)

2. When I do select Yes for my avatar to be animated, the Start animation (d) does not work. Can anyone tell me why?

TIA

What you want, I think, is more like this:

if (message == d1)
    {
        llRequestPermissions(dancer, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
        curAnim = d1;
    }

run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        llStartAnimation("Club Dance1");
        llSay(0, "The permission is " + (string)perm);
    }

[\CODE]

See, the user clicking "yes" is what actually grants the permissions and this fires the run_time_permissions event.  So I've created an event handler and the code inside it waits for the permissions to be granted before running.

The way you had it, everything just happens one after the other; there was no code waiting for the perms to come through (clicking "yes").

Hope that helps some.

Thanks very much Anti.

Very logical the way you explained it.

if i may add, add a else part to the menu so peaple can stop the animation without having to use the stop all animations button

    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {    
        if(perm)
        {
            llStartAnimation("Club Dance1");
            llSay(0, "The permission is " + (string)perm);
        }
        else if(!perm) // perm == false
        {
            llStopAnimation("Club Dance1");
        }
    }

it should work to lazy atm to test it inworld, if you chose no to the animation it should stop it if it is already running
