Multiple sit targets

I'm having trouble with having multiple animated sit targets in a linked set. I have one script in each prim that I want to have a sit target in, and everything works fine until everything is linked up.

I get this message: Script trying to stop animations but PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission not set

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Pick it up and set it back out.. That has happen to me a few times, and it seemed to fix it.

after you stop the animation do you reset the script and make it so the stop code can't be accessed again until someone sits?

the issue is that when ever someone stands up or sits a changed event is triggered in every prim. A single sit target item would have it set so that when no one is sitting on the object it runs the stop animation code and resets. With a multiple sit target item you need to check if someone was sitting to start with. If not then the stop animation code shouldn't be run or it will try to run animation commands on a person that may or may not be in the sim. Basicly you need to keep track if someone is sitting.

That makes sense Strife, and I thought I had covered that, but I'm probably missing something since I'm new to scripting. My code looks something like this:

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSitTarget(<0.5, 0.0, 0.0>, ZERO_ROTATION);
}

changed(integer change)
{
if (change & CHANGED_LINK)
{
key user = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
if (user)
{
llRequestPermissions(user, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}
else
{
llStopAnimation();
llResetScript();
}
}
}
run_time_permissions(integer perms)
{
if (perms != PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
llResetScript();
}
else
{
llStartAnimation();
}
}
}


I'm sure something is wrong because I still get the error, any help on what to do to fix this would be much appreciated!

As you can tell from the error, you also need permission to try and stop an animation, try this:

CODE

[...]
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if (change & CHANGED_LINK)
        {
            key user = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            if (user)
            {
                llRequestPermissions(user, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
            }
            else 
            {
                if (llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
                {
                    llStopAnimation();
                }
                llResetScript();
            }
        }
    }
[...]

that should work

It makes perfect sense, silly me for not knowing how to do it! Thanks for the help Strife and Wednesday!

Well I have an additional question then Wednesday, because I cannot seem to get separate AvatarKeys consistently. Consequently the animations have trouble executing. Would this minor fix also resolve that issue then?

Higbee, you're trying to animate multiple avatars from one script? Sounds challenging.

The documentation (last time I checked) wasn't too clear on the matter, but I think a script can only have permissions enabled for one avatar at a time. Check out llGetPermissionsKey()

Your script may need to remember the key of each avatar that it's animating, and re-request permissions each time you want to start or stop an animation.

I'm not sure though, I've never really played with this, I usually use seperate objects to animate each avatar.

Oh I see so I could create a LIST that collected AVkeys in order to utilize this. Makes sense =) I'll let you know if I get it to work!
