Help with turning "turn_180" around.

Hi.

I'm setting up a pose object and have managed to get the poses to work OK and have include the "turn_180".

llStartAnimation("turn_180";

The problem is that the avatar ends up standing backwards with the "turn_180" and I can't figure out how to get to turn around.

I'm sure that there is a way to do but I don't know how.

Any help is muchly appreciated.

Thanks - Dina

If its a sit target based item just change the sit rotation. if its not you could just rotate the prim.

the animation "turn 180" involves the avatar's hips being rotated 180 degrees from normal.

That's what the "turn 180" is designed to do. The default follow cam/camera position is always "behind" the avatar, animating the avatar to turn 180 degrees, allows someone who has not yet mastered the camera controls, to view their front.

Sorry. I guess I wasn't explaining myself too well. It comes from being blonde.

The llStartAnimation("turn_180"; places the av in a pose stance suitable for adjusting of attachments. The pose is back to the camera.

All my other poses are front to the camera.

What I need help with is how to make the "turn_180" pose end up with front to the camera.

Turning around the prim around does work but then all the other poses are back to the camera.

btw, "turn_180" is some kind of sl built in function.

Dina I do animations and I'd be happy to provide you with a pose that works how you want it, full perms and no charge. (It's a 5 minute job, if that, to make a simple adjustment like that to one of the Linden animations.) I sent you an IM in world, feel free to get back to me any time if that interests you.

again, the "turn_180" animation is different from other stands, as "turn_180" has the pelvis rotated 180 degrees in the Z axis. so in order to bring turn_180 inline with other animations/poses, you would either need to replace it entirely with a "non turn 180... turn-180" (basically the same pose, without the pelvic rotation, as suggested above).. or somehow trigger a specific rotation on the agent for that specific animation (which of course, I don't think you can do once they're seated).

Is this right? And if it is, are there ones for other rotations?

It's not what you're thinking AJ; turn_180 is the "adjusting appearance" animation where you take a few steps in a circle and spread your arms a bit, also often used for posing stands. Yeah a generalized set of "rotation" animations would be a wonderful tool for some purposes, but there's nothing like this that I know of.

Aww. Oh well, guess I'll have to make my own set when I get to that point then.
