Height-Adjusting Pose Ball

I have made some modifications to a common pose ball script to automatically adjust the avi's z-position according to their height. Basically, I have the pose ball rezzed on the floor, and when the avi 'Sits' on it, the script moves the avi up or down a bit so their feet just touch the floor.

It works well for close-to-average height and up to very-tall avis. But very short avis (not tinies) still float a bit off the floor.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Are there already pose ball scripts out there that accomplish this? Or maybe there is an existing thread that discusses this? (I searched and didn't find one.)

Thx, Cheree

I don't know, but here is an additional warning. I believe a few of the appearance fields can contribute to avatar height, so if the avatar's body proportions are unusual (tall but with short legs, thin vs. thick shoes, etc.) it might also cause problems.

I have made a quick Hand on Heart pose for the upcoming holiday. I have placed it into a pose ball in my store. The pose ball has my new script in it.

I would appreciate it if you forum readers would come by and test it for me. Let me know how close your feet are to the floor beneath you. A quick IM will be fine.

I will give you the pose ball just for helping me out. (I modified the script to give you a copy of the pose ball automatically.)

Cheree, this is because Tiny animations fold the legs and artifically move the pelvis (basically entire avatar) down to the ground, and due to the animations might be causing floating above ground or even cause the legs to collide with the ground.

Otherwise if you are noticing this fault with normal human avatars you might wanna try testing between llGetAgentSize or llGetBoundingBox functions to see which one is more accurate.

I am not talking about tinies. They have their own problems. I am using llGetAgentSize now, so I will try llGetBounding Box and see if it is any different.

Thanks for the siggeston.
