Listening for gestures

Does anyone know whether gestures and/or animations generate output to a chat channel and whether a script can be set to llListen for that output?

Thanks.

My suggestion would be to script an attachment that will both play the animation with llStartAnimation/llStopAnimation (assuming proper permissions) and, if needed, an llSay/llWhisper/llShout for a listener.

Otherwise, AGENT_FLYING is the only real "gesture" that seems to be picked up directly by scripts. But a lot of that is covered in the LSL guide included with Second Life.

you can find the animation keys for all the gestures and then look for them , but it's a lot of work.

Yes, gestures can do this. Create a gesture, and add a "chat" item to the list along with whatever else you want the gesture to do. In the chat text box, type something like "/44 stuff", which will say "stuff" on channel 44. You can output to whatever channel you want and llListen on that channel in, say, an attachment to bind LSL-scripted actions to a keystroke. I've made use of this several times... I think it's a little-known feature of gestures.

If you mean do all gestures an anims output chat then no. gestures can have chat added to them though.

thanks you guys, that's most helpful, much appreciated
