Override Sit animation

Hi

I am trying to create a script which will override the "sit" animation used when an avatar sits on an object.

Basically I actually wnat the avatar to stand (but I need them to "sit" on the object in question to allow camera controls to work). I can get the avatar to sit in front of and looking at the object, but cannot seem to have them stand (as opposed to sit). The first cut script is here...

string ANIMATION = "standing";//anim pose

key avie;

default

{

state_entry()

{

rotation myRot = llEuler2Rot(< 0, 0, 90 * DEG_TO_RAD>;

llSetCameraEyeOffset(<0,1,0.5>; // camera position

llSetCameraAtOffset(<0,-10,1>; // Camera point of focus (where it is looking)

llSitTarget(<0,-1,0>, myRot);

avie = NULL_KEY;

}


changed(integer change)
{

key sitting = llAvatarOnSitTarget();

if (change == CHANGED_LINK)

{

if(sitting != NULL_KEY)

{

avie = sitting;

llRequestPermissions(avie, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);

}
else
{

llStopAnimation(ANIMATION);
avie = NULL_KEY;

}

}

}

run_time_permissions(integer perms)
{

if ((perms & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) == PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)

{

llStopAnimation("sit";

llStartAnimation(ANIMATION);

}

}

}


If any one could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

Thanks in advance!

try this

key agentKey = NULL_KEY;
integer permissionResult = FALSE;
string theAnim = "(ANIMATION TO USE)";
string sitText = "(TEXT)";
vector sittingPosition = <-0.1,0,0.7>;

init()
{
    llSetSitText(sitText);
    llSitTarget(sittingPosition,<0,0,0,1>);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        init();
    }
    on_rez(integer rezzed)
    {
        init();
    }    
    changed(integer change) 
    {
        if (change & CHANGED_LINK)
        {
            key agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            if ( agentKey == NULL_KEY && agent != NULL_KEY ) 
            {
                agentKey = agent;
                llRequestPermissions(agentKey,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
            } 
            else if ( agentKey != NULL_KEY && agent == NULL_KEY) 
            {
                if (permissionResult) 
                {
                    llStopAnimation(theAnim);
                }
                llResetScript();
            }
        }        
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm) 
    {
        if (perm == PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) 
        {
            permissionResult = TRUE;
            llStopAnimation("sit");
            llStartAnimation(theAnim);
        }
    }
}

Your script works, I just tested it. Of course, it depends on there being an animation called "standing" present in your poseball's inventory.

Thanks Mrc and Dylan... I will give it another go

Dylan, I did try it with a pose in the object and didn't seem to work tho... maybe I missed something else out Didn't help that in order for the camera to work correctly I had to press Esc ...

Thanks

Thank you so much folks.

I had a problem with animating a sitting avatar. Stopping the "sit" animation fixed it.
