With this script you can make ANY attachment, prim, object accessible to play animations from. Useful if you want to make gestures, but you are limited due SL requiring full perm animations.

How-To for setup included (same as below)

SETUP
Put it in your Expressions HUD, AO, or whatever attachment that you would like to be able to play animations from.

INTERFACE
How to use:
to start an animation /30033 start,names[]
to stop an animation /30033 stop,names[]
to stop all known animations /30033 reset

So for example
/30033 start,lcdance,closed_eye R,closed_eye L
wait 5 seconds
/30033 stop,lcdance,closed_eye R,closed_eye L
OR
/30033 reset

This is VERY useful for gestures if you have animations, AO or an expression HUD with animations you would love to make gestures out of.
Since gestures are limited to "full perm" for animations only, you can put the animations in a 'container' with this script instead.

LIMITATIONS
The script will listen to any object (including yourself) that is owned by you. Others cannot trigger anything on you UNLESS it is via attachments owned by you.
You can set up other scripts to trigger animations via this script as long as the owner is the same.

CAVEATS
it will NOT inform you of missing animations as other prims can reuse this script
since this script runs on the same channel for all its instances, the reset will affect all instances. Useful, but may stop too many animations

  • Play animations via scripts
  • Extend gestures to play limited animations
