Animating more then one avies (dance ball)

Hi, I was wondering how to animate more then one agent with one object..
Like a dance ball.. I almost got it working.. but I have to request permissions again to stop the animation and I can't change the animation of all the agents with a timer or anything..

in short:
How do I store the permissions of mutliple agents?

I wasn't able to find anything about it in the wiki or on this forum.

Thanks in advance,

You should be able to run multiple scripts, one script controlling each av.

Yes.. but I'm just that's not how a dance ball works.. thx anyway

I have become a little bit suspicious of the descriptions in the WIKI (or my interpretation of them) but if I remember correctly ONE script can only hold permissions for ONE agent. Period.

You cannot store, apparently, the permissions and thus control multiple agents from one single script.

So - to control more than one avatar you'd need as many scripts as you have avatars. I am not sure about this but I bet you can have a script copy itself - or at least the part that controls the avis.

Hi Un4given,

Basically there are a couple of things to know here.

1) A script can only take perms for one avatar at a time.
2) A prim can only have one sit target.

So the trick is to have two prims (with a sit target set on each and linked together), each with a script in them to trigger the appropriate animation for each partner when they sit.

Then the trick is to start the animations only when both balls have an av sitting on them which you can do with llMessageLinked communications between the two prims.

That's basically how they work.
