Avatar animations not working right?

I have a set of poses I made for a client of mine and the test object(s) works perfectly for me, but when my client uses it, it doesn't pose him at all, unless he's in the same zone as me. Wierd, huh? The script, test object, and animations are all full permissions, so I'm wondering if it might not be something bizzare with my script itself. I can't get in-game right now, so I'll have to post the code later.

The function is working perfectly fine. It's just not working the way you wanted it to work.

Flush the scripts cached keys and permissions when the user stands up or stops using it. You have some bit of logic that is requiring the previous user/owner to be present. Or your agent check before animation is checking for the owner/creator instread of the user.

It's a logic error.

I'm not sure how you are supposed to "flush the scripts cached keys and permissions" I'd assume with a llResetScript() command, but I'm not sure. here's my code now that I'm able to get in game

CODE

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(5,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }
    
    on_rez(integer info)
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
    }
    
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
        if (message == llToLower("pose"))
        {
            llStartAnimation("Sword in two hand-02");
        }
        else if (message == llToLower("stop"))
        {
            llResetScript();
            llStopAnimation("Sword in two hand-02");
        }
    }
}

you weren't refreshing the listen between owner changes.

CODE

integer w;
string anim = "Sword in two hand-02";

reset()
{
    llListenRemove(w);
    w = llListen(5,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        reset();
    }
    on_rez(integer info)
    {
        reset();
    }
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
        if(llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
        {
            message = llToLower(message);
            if (message  == "pose"))
                llStartAnimation(anim);
            else if (message == "stop")
                llStopAnimation(anim);
        }
    }
}
