Im looking to create a vehicle like a bicycle or motorbike with animations that change temporarily based on key touches like when u come to a stop u put yur feet down..u turn the avatar leans ..left or right based on the key pressed..and forward the avatar crouches down..is this at all possible and if it is what would i need to add to the script ..llplayanimation?
at each corresponding key press to play that particular animation?

That's a rough flow of what you'd need to do.

Thanks that worked ..made some progress with the control functions and animations..challenge im facing now is how to make the animation play only when a key is held down ..for example im turning left or right on the bike/vehicle and the animation i want to play starts..i release the key and it continues to play until I call for it to stop on another key. I s there a way to play only as the key is held down then go back to say the base animation ? I think i have seen it before on some linden vehicles like the snowboards they relesed when the snow sims were released.

Yeah. This is where "edge" is useful:

CODE
if ( (edge & CONTROL_FWD) && (level & CONTROL_FWD) )
{
    // Start the anim, key just now pressed.
}
else if ( (edge & CONTROL_FWD) && !(level & CONTROL_FWD) )
{
    //Stop the anim, key just now released.
}
