Dose any one know why "llStopAnimation( llGetAnimation(userID) );" would cause the error message "Couldn't find animation (result of llGetAnimation) ".

You want llGetAnimationList(). But you will have to parse the list it returns.

Yeah llGetAnimation is the dumbest function ever, it returns a description of the animation rather than its real name or key. Wonder why the heck LL added it in the first place.

I thought it returned the name of the built in animations. The animations before players could make their own. Aka the animations that do not have keys. Such as "sit".

not like i'm llGetAnimation()'s best friend but it has some uses like for detecting the type of built in animation you're doing so you can override it.
if you want a dumb function what about llCloud() or llDetectedGrab()? heck, llAtan2 is pretty dumb if you really look at it. the wiki says llAtan2(float y, float x) "returns the arctangent in radians of y/x". who would want that? i want a function that keeps the actangent in radians of y/x the hell away from me.

From: Zuzi Martinez if you want a dumb function what about llCloud() or llDetectedGrab()? heck, llAtan2 is pretty dumb if you really look at it. the wiki says llAtan2(float y, float x) "returns the arctangent in radians of y/x". who would want that? i want a function that keeps the actangent in radians of y/x the hell away from me. there are precision issues with taking arctangents so computer scientists figured out a better way of taking the arc tangent of two numbers being divided. Also llAtan2 has a different range of answers then llAtan (that are equivilent). llGetAnimation() is a stupid function, it gives data that is generaly useless. llDetectedGrab() is useful for building slider buttons like what can be found on xyobject. llCloud i have to give you.

llCloud would be useful in a user created weather system, or a user created cloud map, but that's about it.

i was mostly being silly. maybe i don't understand llGetAnimation() all that good. any idea how you'd make an animation overrider without it?
