I would be very grateful if anyone can help me please.

I am trying to find a script that will help me with the following problem:-

I have created an object with a series of poses , I am now trying to create a main script that will send a single or a series of link-messages to trigger and "play back" each keyframe/pos. I may be triggering a series of poses all at once and understand that I need to make sure I put llSleep(0.21); in between each place I am calling a new pose with llMessageLinked - as this will help keep everything in synch and from "breaking up" by queueing and "piling up" calls for animations.

I have created the poses but I am at a complete loss as to how to create a script that will trigger the poses as suggested above. I have been trying to do this for weeks now with little success. I have been to classes and asked people for help 'In World' with little success:((


Please, please, please can anyone help me :))
Thank you

Possible way to get this to work:

Have a script in each child prim together with a notecard that for each frame holds a relative position and rotation value in regard to the root prim.

Have the root script send out "read line n" via link message to the entire linkset along with the root prims global position and rotation.

The scripts would then read the given line and move the child prims into place based on the root position and rotation.


Do not expect smooth animation or even anything to sync up all the time.

I'm not sure from your description that I understand what you are trying to do. But I put a simple example of how to use MessageLinked and LinkedMessage in the library here:
