typing AO troubles

I think ive got the animation set correctly but even if i can keep a still pose when played in world im having trouble overriding the default animation. The animation that im using still is interrupted by the default animation and doesnt stay in a pose while im typing. Heres what ive got so far.

// Adapted from a freebie typing AO script

integer keyboard_status = 0;


default
{
state_entry()
{
llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}
run_time_permissions(integer mask)
{
if(mask & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.5);
}
}

attach(key attached)
{
if(attached != NULL_KEY)
{

}
}


timer() {
integer are_we_typing = llGetAgentInfo (llGetOwner()) & AGENT_TYPING;

if (keyboard_status != are_we_typing ) { //keyboard_status changed since last checked?
if (are_we_typing)
{
llStopAnimation("type";
llStartAnimation("typing override";
llSetTimerEvent(0.25);
}
else
{
llStopAnimation("type";
llStopAnimation("typing override";
llSetTimerEvent(0.5);
}

keyboard_status = are_we_typing;//save the current keyboard_status.
}
}
}

Unfortunately i didnt backup a copy of the original script that i used to make a texture muzzle talk script. So im basicly left with this after modifying. My animation is set to priority 4, loop, in% 100 out %100, hand pose typing. Can anyone help me with this?

You won't get away with these lines, just remove them and you should be closer to where you want:

llStopAnimation("type";

Instead, leave the default type animation playing and play yours over it. The reason is that AGENT_TYPING doesn't really tell you if the avatar is typing, it really only checks if the default typing animation is running

you also might want to remove the state entry and move the permission request to the attach event. the state entry only runs once, and as far as i know permissions are released when the object is derezzed. you could however add an on rez event and have it reset the script each times it's rezzed, but for attachments i prefer doing that in the attach event

I heard that stoping the default animation just before you play yours helps but i guess it wont in my case. I tested it again only this time my animation is playing in conjunction with the default and it looks like im holding out my right arm and typing with my left and my right arm isnt even held out like in my original animation ><. Ill try some other things but i think im pretty close .

Yeah, that advice is handed out a lot, but there are a bunch of exceptions because the defaults have side effects, both server and viewer side. It's utter madness that running animations are part of the protocol, but that's what we have :/
