Animation not up-to-date...

I would like to know how to make an avatar up-to-date with a poseball. I make the poseball move with a menu but the avatar doesn't move... I'm using a free script called Pose Ball 4 made by CrystalShard Foo to which I added a move script with a menu.

here is the code. I added * on the lines that I added.

//Pose Ball script, Revision 4.3
//Notecard configuration enabled, switchable link_message/touch_start/llListen support, sit_text, floating text, alpha.
//Version 4.3 fixs link_set hide/show and permission sensing issues.

//By CrystalShard Foo.
//Work started - October 10th.
//Last compile - November 7th.

//This script will let you choose if you want to turn the ball visible on CLICK, or by using a SHOW/HIDE voice command.
//You can also set the offset and the title of the ball, as well as the sit button text - all with a notecard.

//This script is free and comes without support. Dont contact me. Ask a local geek for help if it gets messy.

// ** This script is NOT FOR SALE **
//You can use it in commercial products as long as you give this script to anyone who asks for it.
//You can use this source, distribute it and modify it freely, but leave the credits intact!
//(You can add your own name to the list, ofcourse. Like, "Modified by John Doe"



string TITLE="Sit here"; //This text will appear in the floating title above the ball
string ANIMATION=""; //Put the name of the pose/animation here!
vector offset=<0,0,-1>;
//You can play with these numbers to adjust how far the person sits from the ball. ( <X,Y,Z> )
integer use_voice = FALSE;

string gNotecard = "Pose ball - CONFIGURATION";
integer gLine = 0;

integer listenHandle = -1;
integer masterswitch = TRUE;
integer visible = TRUE;

So, is it possible to make the avatar move with the poseball?

Annie

This is because a sitting avatar becomes part of the linkset. That is, a child of the root prim, not the prim containing the sit target (if that's a child prim). So moving the prim containing the sit target doesn't move the avatar with it any more than it would move another prim in the linkset along with it.

To physically change the position of a sitting avatar (aside from playing an animation which includes hip translations), use llSetLinkPrimitiveParams (see link below), and pass it the "prim number" of the avatar. For a single sitting avatar, this will always be the return of llGetNumberOfPrims().

Sweeeeet! ^.^ thanks alot. I could of never guessed that .
