start anim by chat

Hey guys
I have this script but it wont work would anyone take a look and tell me why?


default
{
state_entry()


{
llListen(3,"",llGetOwner(),"";
llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
if (llToLower (message) == "on"
{

llStartAnimation("xxxxx";

}
if( message == "off" )
{

llStopAnimation("xxxxx";
{


}
} }
}

Thanks!

you need a permission event

correct, the llRequestPermissons() function triggers a run_time_permissions() event. Look up llRequestPermissions() in the wiki http://wiki.secondlife.com


http://www.secondscripter.com

like ?

run_time_permissions(integer permissions)
{
if (PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION & permissions)
{


edit

sorry i did not see your post , i will look at that thanks

Assuming she is not denying the permission pop-up, why would a run_time_permissions handler be required?

she? (she!)

they said i needed somthing like this run_time_permissions() event , a permssion event ?

Yep. See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Run_time_permissions .

I don't see why it's really needed. The run_time_permissions event just tells the script which permissions were granted by the user. It should not (AFAIK) be required to make permission stuff happen, though.

Where is this script? In an attachemnt? On something you sit on? On the ground somewhere?

If you reset the script, do you see it ask you for animation permission?


edit: I'm betting you've got an AO with a higher priority animation in it. That or it's an object you sit on, in which case you may need to stop the standard sit anim first.

Yes i think AO is the problem too. I tested the script with exact code and it worked for me just fine.

i have looked it again and i am sure it is the permission. so would the permission event go into the listen event like this?

default
{
state_entry()


{
llListen(3,"",llGetOwner(),"";

}


listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{

llRequestPermissions(llDetectedKey(0), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}
run_time_permissions(integer perm)
{
if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{

{
if (llToLower (message) == "on"
{ etc etc .

thanks , for all the help so far !

It works just fine without that run_time_permissions() event handler. Just checking the obvious here: the test utterance was something like "/3 on" (i.e., you were talking on the same channel for which the script was listening), correct? and the "xxxxx" was actually an animation in the scripted object's contents, or else one of the built-in animations, right?

Just for completeness, if one had to use a run_time_permission() handler, it couldn't refer to the "message" variable because that's only bound within the scope of the listen. So the listen handler would have to set some global variable that would be in scope in the run_time_permissions handler.

But then the question is important, whether the scripted thing is sat-upon or attached, or just some other thing rezzed in-world. If it's attached or sat-upon, then llRequestPermissions() won't actually have to ask the user explicitly for permissions. Otherwise, it has to ask, and it would be really annoying to ask that more than once, so one would want to do llGetPermissions() to see if the script needs to request them or not. So one might end up with something like:

integer CHANNEL = 3;    // Remember to say "/3 on" to start the animation.
string msg;     // To know what listen() heard, later when get permissions
string anim;    // To use the (first) animation in the object's contents

animStartOrStop()
{
    if (msg == "on")
        llStartAnimation(anim);
    else
        llStopAnimation(anim);
}


default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        anim = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ANIMATION, 0);
        llListen(CHANNEL,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }
    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        msg = llToLower(message);
        if ((msg == "on") || (msg == "off"))
        {
            if (llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
                animStartOrStop();
            else
                llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
        }
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perms)
    {
        if (perms & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
            animStartOrStop();
    }
}

(Note: If the code doesn't appear indented, try using the reply Quote button.)

Also, this all assumes that the scripted object will never change owners, because it only listens to whomever is the owner at time of state_entry. If it will change owners by being passed into another's inventory and re-rezzed, probably also want the common "on_rez(integer parm) { llResetScript(); }"

The xxx was a animation and i was speaking on channle 3. This is an attachment. Thanks for all your help , Everyone . the script is working how i wanted . Thanks
