Hud Animation

Made a hud last night that ought to run avatar animations.

It asks for the animation perm but then it doesn't run the animation.

Pretty sure the scripting is clean.

Is there some funky thing about animations and huds I should know?

Nothing special about using a HUD to trigger animations, in fact you don't even need to request permissions as it is an attachment. Double check that you are actually firing off the animations, without seeing your code can't give much more advice.

Well, you do have to request permissions, you just don't have to wait for a user response, as permission is granted automatically and instantly.

Here's the basic script I'm working with

integer move = 0;
default
{
on_rez(integer x)
{
llResetScript();
}
state_entry()
{
key id = llGetOwner();
llRequestPermissions(id, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}
touch_start(integer num_detected)
{
move = 1;
}
run_time_permissions( integer perm )
{
if ((perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) && (move == 1))
{
llStartAnimation("testanim";
move=0;
}
}
}

The only way it works is if I put the request permission in the touch_start but then I get a request to trigger anims which I don't want.

Ok I figured it out, if the object is linked and not the master prim it can serve as a secondary button but it doesn't consider itself directly attatched to anyone so it won't get the permissions automatically.

sound bout right?
