PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION error

I have this free typing AO script and I keep getting a error with it...

this is what it says..:

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

and -

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

I have no idea what this means so can someone shed some light on what I'm missing?

Whoever scripted it didn't properly request permissions (or perhaps more accurately, check if permissions were granted... unlikely, though, since this particular permission is automatically granted when requested from an attachment) before trying to start/stop animations.

It's also possible that the copy you have of the object is still trying to animate its previous owner... try resetting the script.

I would think, were that the case, that it would either

A) just go ahead and animate the previous owner (quite unexpectedly)

or if the previous owner is outside the sim,

2) give a "Cannot find agent to animate" error.

Quite right.
