Follower not following when dancing

Hey pholks...

I have this follower script that works pretty well. It's in a sphere that's supposed to follow the AV - which it does when I'm walking/running/flying.
But - when I play an animation (a dance) that moves the AV out of the spherer, the follower doesn't react, means it stays in place...

Is the movement that's built into an animation not considered movement? Is the movement only on the client-side (like llTargetOmega?).

Thanks for the hints!

Yeah, animation movement isn't actual movement, in the case of poseballs they are literally linked to it so they can't move anyway. However you can see a good example of this in any packed dance club, if animated dances with movement were real there'd be people colliding with one another and that just doesn't happen unless they are actually walking.

You can see what's going on, by using my agent visualizer script.

Simply install this in a disposable prim... and you'll be able to see where your agent is, it's size, rotation, and general nature. Then simply run a dance animation, and watch your follower stick-by your agent.

{
    llSetObjectName(llKey2Name(llGetOwner()) + "'s Agent Stand-in");
    llSetPrimitiveParams([
        PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, <0,0,0>, .25,
        PRIM_PHANTOM, TRUE,
        PRIM_TYPE, PRIM_TYPE_SPHERE, 0, <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, 0.0, <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>,

        25, ALL_SIDES, 0.05 // PRIM_GLOW
    ]);
    llSensorRepeat("", llGetOwner(), AGENT, 96, PI, 0.1);
}

{
    state_entry()
    {
        init();
    }
    
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        init();
    }
    
    changed (integer change)
    {
        if (change & CHANGED_OWNER) init();
    }

    sensor(integer num_detected)
    {
        llSetPrimitiveParams([
            PRIM_POSITION, llDetectedPos(0),
            PRIM_ROTATION, llDetectedRot(0),
            PRIM_SIZE, llGetAgentSize(llGetOwner())
            ]);
    }
}

Thanks guys - that clarifies a lot

Or, even more easily, by watching where your nametag continues to hover.

Assuming you have nametags enabled.
Assuming you don't move your camera in such a way that the nametag moves away from the agent.
