poseball roadblock

Again, I appreciate a bit of help with this. I know others have created nice ones, but I'm in the process of learning LSL-and overcoming these various obstacles are important to my learning process. I've seen some other people's work, but they're mostly poseballs with a million options(too confusing for me at this point) and I just want one simple thing from mine..


I've gotten it to disappear on sit so it's not in the view, but I'm having a hard time getting it to reappear on standing back up. ^^

Anyways, the following is incorrect, but I thought posting it might give someone an idea of what I'm trying to do and the proper (hopefully simplest) way to accomplish this.

integer hidden = FALSE;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSitTarget(<0,0,.1>, ZERO_ROTATION);
        llSetSitText("Pose!");
    }
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
        {
            key avataronsittarget = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            if( avataronsittarget != NULL_KEY )
            {
                if ((llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) && llGetPermissionsKey() == avataronsittarget) 
                {
                    llStopAnimation("sit");
                    llStartAnimation("dance1");
                    hidden = TRUE;
                    {
                        llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0,ALL_SIDES);
                    }
                }
                else 
                {
                    llRequestPermissions(avataronsittarget, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
                }
            }
        }
        else if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
        {
            hidden = FALSE;
            {
                llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,1,ALL_SIDES);
            }
        }   
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if(perm)
        {
            llStopAnimation("sit");
            llStartAnimation("dance1");
            hidden = TRUE;
            {
                llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0,ALL_SIDES);
            }
        }
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(hidden)
        {
            hidden = FALSE;
            llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,1,ALL_SIDES);
        }
        else
        {
            hidden = TRUE;
            llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0,ALL_SIDES);
        }               
    }
}

Once again, thank whomever for helping my learning process.

You have the following structure:

If (changed & CHANGED_LINK) {
.
[section A]
.
} else if (changed & CHANGED_LINK) { 
.
[section B]
.
}

In this case section B will never run, because if (changed & CHANGED_LINK) is true, the section after the if runs. The section after else only runs if the condition (changed & CHANGED_LINK) is false - and then, when it is tested again by the if statement within the else, it is still false so the if doesn't run.

What you probably mean is:

if (changed & CHANGED_LINK) {
   if (set of conditions for A} {
     .
     .
   } else  if (set of conditions for B) {
     .
     .
   }
}

Oooh, Okay. I see now. Thanks so much for pointing that out, that just fixed like 5 things I'm working on, including the above project. (lol)

integer hidden = FALSE;

    state_entry()
    {
        llSitTarget(<0,0,.1>, ZERO_ROTATION);
        llSetSitText("Pose!");
    }
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
        {
            key avataronsittarget = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            if( avataronsittarget != NULL_KEY )
            {
                if ((llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) && llGetPermissionsKey() == avataronsittarget) 
                {
                    llStopAnimation("sit");
                    llStartAnimation("dance1");
                    hidden = TRUE;
                    {
                        llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0,ALL_SIDES);
                    }
                }
                else 
                {
                    llRequestPermissions(avataronsittarget, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
                }
            }
            else if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
            {
                hidden = FALSE;
                {
                    llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,1,ALL_SIDES);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if(perm)
        {
            llStopAnimation("sit");
            llStartAnimation("dance1");
            hidden = TRUE;
            {
                llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0,ALL_SIDES);
            }
        }
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(hidden)
        {
            hidden = FALSE;
            llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,1,ALL_SIDES);
        }
        else
        {
            hidden = TRUE;
            llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0,ALL_SIDES);
        }               
    }
}

The above works now. ^^

Edit: I just wanted to reiterate a 'thank you' for helping me out. ^^
