AniSitter is a couple of scripts that let your animesh characters use AVSitter furniture almost like normal avatars.
It also adds the ability to animesh characters to go to specific places when you tell them so, or to follow you around (e.g. to find a furniture to use).
General Features:
-works in avsitter furnitures using AVSitter 1.0, 2.0 and up.
-plays couple animations automatically and single poses through the character menu
-takes the empty seat in couple mode automatically
-is able to swap places
-can follow you around and find furnitures on its own or on command
-built in AO when not in use
-can be used in single pose mode only e.g. useful if you have a very busy place
-now supports ~1000 animations per character and about ~500 animations per furniture since version 3.2
This pack comes with 4 scripts, a config notecard and 8 basic AO animations. One script goes into the furniture the rest into your animesh.
(You can use your own AO animations too)
How does it work?
Roughly its done in 4 simple steps:
1. Open the contents tab of your furniture of choice and drag the animations into a folder of your inventory.
(alternatively choose open from the pie menu and let things get copied on their own)
2. Put the AniSeat/AniSeatMem scripts into your furniture and wait until they have finished loading.
3. Rez your animesh character somewhere next to the furniture. Now drag the furniture animations and the content of AniSitters animesh folder into the animeshs content tab.
4. Hop on your furniture, open the furniture menu and play some couple poses. The animesh will automatically take the counterpart. Single poses will be played through the animeshs own menu.
Limitations:
works not on moving things like vehicles.
In some cases the animesh will not sit accurately on the desired spot due to collisions happening during the movement and/or lag. Often it helps to click the couple pose button in the furniture again to fix that.
To make your animesh clickable its recommended linking a see through prim to it, else you need to right click on it/choose touch from the pie.
Works not (yet) with animesh that is using other than the standard x-axis front orientation.

A must-have tool for anyone wanting to explore the possibilities of animesh
Since the original release of this script the creator has put out several updates which have both increased stability and expanded the features of animated objects. The low cost of this script makes it a no-brainer to allow you to turn any rigged avatar with Modify rights that you might already own into an animesh puppet.
If you are careful, the scripts work very well.
Others may have had trouble with these scripts, but it work just fine, follow the directions carefully and there should be no problem. Make sure you set the Physics shape to 'none' instead of 'Convex Hull' in the Features tab of your animesh. Don't add 100's of animations to the animesh all in one shot, do a dozen or less at a time, as SL lag may affect the transfer. Other than those two issues I ran into, I have my animesh come when called, and follow me around, and jumps on the couples furniture (even a couples dance pole) as soon as I jump on. Its good work, please give us more functionality! I would like her to follow more closely, she's a bit lazy - hehe, and I tend to our pace her when I walk about, so I pause and she catches up quickly.
Horrable !!!!!!
Avi Cant find me to follow me, The Furniture never know it has the script in it , and on the chance the avi does react, It never lines up on the couple poses. and never takes the single pose. DO NOT Waste your time or lindens on this product
Fantastic.
This does just what it says it does and maybe even a little bit more. There -are- instructions and they are clear and simple. Well worth the price of admission!
Need more details.
I've purchased several products from Fran, and this is the first disappointment. When I put scripts in objects I get script error messages. The chat commands could be better explained. Basically I'm wasting time. If I'm not following directions properly I need to know. Does this only work on certain objects, and not "object of choice"? May I please have some customer support? Thanks.
