Library: Anxiousness Chair - Triggers Animations and Changes On_Touch

Someone posted a question on the forums, and I wrote a script for it. You can also use the premissions part of the code here to trigger animations on anything else if you want.

Anxiousness Chair v.1 is a script for any object you sit on that you want to use custom animations on. I also spent some time adding the ability to be able to scroll through all animations in the object by click on it. All you need to do is copy this script into the object and drag your animations onto it. Then change the variables at the top of the script to you liking. Made it as easy as possible so that even a noob should be able to use it without any difficulties.

I spent alot of time working bugs out, but it should be good to go now.

Enjoy.

Works Great thanks alot

This is a great script, thank you very much for posting it. I have a few questions, and bare with me, I know next to nothing about scripting and animations. I've used this script on two separate objects, two separate animations. While the one object carries out the animation perfectly, for some reason, other animations are not working in full. Animations that have the legs moving or anything below the waste changed, are not coming through, the objects force the Avatar's lower body to take a "sitting" pose as is normal for sitting on any object. However the animation attached to the object requires the legs to either be standing and posed, or moving in some way. Am I making an error? Am I missing something? Why do some animations make the Avatar stand and others do not when the animation is used separated from the item the legs are posed yet once attached to the script and object, the avatar only sits?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Usually, the reason of animations only playing on the top part of the body, is because the av is sitting.

When you sit on an object the 'sit' animation is triggered automatically. This probably forces the av in 'sitting mode'.

It's probably a good idea to stop the 'sit' animation, before starting any others.

Put this line of code on a line above the

"//This starts the first animation... " comment in the script:

llStopAnimation("sit");

When i link this in a prim to other prims with this script and animations in them and try and run the animation I get errors from the other linked animations.

Anybody know a fix for this?

I've been trying to help him with this for a few hours now and for some reason it keeps returning a permission not set error line. I'm perplexed. Anyone else having this problem?

If you have multiple linked prims, each with a sit script. The 'changed' event is actually sent to all prims, but there's only one (the one you actually sit on), who's the one gaining the permission to perform anims. (Don't ask me why this happens). So when you stand up, all scripts start their 'llStopAnimation', but only one is allowed. The rest of the prims scream error messages...

To fix this, ask if you have any avatar permissions set. The easiest way i found out it:

// check if the permissions were actually set for this prim
// by checking we have a valid av
if (llGetPermissionsKey() != NULL_KEY) {

  llStopAnimation("my_sit_anim");
}

Or something in that order.

This will fix most multiple 'sit' objects that have problems with either anims or control takeover.

cool! but how dose "if (llGetPermissionsKey() != NULL_KEY) {

llStopAnimation("my_sit_anim";
}" plug into the current script? Sore newbie coder asking newbie q.

I spent several hours figuring how to make this work without errors when multiple prims are linked with the same script in each prim (so all of your friends can sit and cycle through poses.) The challenge was to stop the permissions errors or the stuck-in-a-pose problem after unseating.

Basically, I removed the part of changed() that detects a link change - when the user sits or stands. I put the permissions into the click_start() along with a llAvatarOnSitTarget() == NULL_KEY test to see if the user is seated. If not seated, the click does nothing (though it should really say, "please, sit first." If seated, clicks cycle the anims and begin a llSetTimerEvent( 1.0 ). The purpose of the timer is to detect when the user stands. In timer(), if the test llAvatarOnSitTarget() == NULL_KEY is true, the current animation stops.

With the change, multiple linked prims containing this script perform with no errors.

Look me up at the silver tower in Europa if you have any scripting questions. While I'm fairly new to the language, I love to trouble-shoot and figure these things out. A problem solved is knowledge gained.

I"m sorry I didn't tell you, but I figured out how to get the script to properly recognize when some one sits and stands. So it doesn't need to check the user status every 30 seconds. I'll be poasting my vertion of the script if Kaneda Akebono ok it. I don't want to step on his toes.

This is an old script roaming around SL, so I'm hoping there may be a fix. I am using the script, but keep getting the following error:

PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission not set
Object: Script trying to stop animations but PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission not set

Does anyone happen to know the fix?

Thanks!

I came across this script and am hoping someone may have solved for the errors. I am using it with an animated script and am getting the following error:

Object: Script trying to stop animations but PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission not set

Can anyone help? Thanks!

thanks for share anyway..
it doesn't work on me neither..
anybody can fix it?

I think this will work.

if (llGetPermissionsKey() == user)
{
llStopAnimation("my_sit_anim";
}

If it doesn't, check this.

if (PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION & llGetPermissions())
{
llStopAnimation("my_sit_anim";
}

I don't post here very often, almost never, but I took the liberty of combining the ao overriding poseball script also found on the forums with this handy animation changing script to make what I hope is a very nice poseball script for everyone to use. Please forgive the sloppiness, it may not be pretty but so far it works great!

well if the OP (nearly 5 years ago, without many of the functions we have to use now) could use inconsistent indentation I suppose none is an improvement (it's consistent at least)
