run particle on move - avatar attachment

hey,

do any of you know the best way to allow a particle, or texture animation script within an attachment to run when the avatar moves forwards and backwards...i've been thinking maybe through listen(to the key being pressed) on a certain channel but this way seems sluggish structure wise... or perhaps i could use "takecontrols"?

I'm just starting trying to get my head round this so any pointers would be really welcome.

Your attachment can having a moving_start and moving_end event handler in it.
When the avatar moves, these will be triggured.
They could have your particle calls in them.

I.e.

    moving_start()
    {
        llOwnerSay("Moving...");
    }

In an attachment, this would print "Moving" when the avatar starts to move.

ok that looks simple i'll lok into it, cheers

i tired it it didnt seem to respond very well.....basically i'm trying to get it so that the texture on a wheel which is attached to the avatar rotates when i go forwards or backwards.....

try using integer llGetAgentInfo(key id)

but using GetAgentInfo means that you could detect the avatar is sitting, but not the velocity of the avatars movement....

What about a combination of GetAgentinfo - sitting and the getvel i think i tried something like this before and it didnt seem to work....

My apologies, from you posted I assumed that the avatar would be walking or flying etc not seated in a vehicle.

just used get velocity....simple really. I'd tried it before but forgot to add a couple of lines.
