User:Toady Nakamura/Hold Teddy Script

From Second Life Wiki

This script is useful for things like holding teddybears or sandwiches.

• You need an animation to put in the same prim. Here I named the animation "Hold"
• You have to change the animation name to the animation you include in the prim with the script.

string anim ="Hold"; // change this name to match the animation which is in the prim !
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); 
        // ask the owner for permission to trigger animations
        llStartAnimation(anim); // automatically trigger animation.
    }
 
 
    attach(key wearer)
    {
    if(wearer == NULL_KEY)
        {
          llStopAnimation(anim);
          llSetTimerEvent(0);
        }
        else
        {
         llRequestPermissions(wearer,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
        }
    }
 
    run_time_permissions(integer permissions)
    {
        if (PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION & permissions)
        {
        llStartAnimation(anim);
        llSetTimerEvent(15);
        }
    }
 
   timer()
   {
        llStartAnimation(anim);
   }    
}

Credits & History

• Script originally from a class by Minx Mousehold, modified by Toady Nakamura
  • Modded again 08/06/12 to add state_entry after getting massive script errors - but only when worn by tinies!!

Big Scary Script Error

Here's the script error that you get if you don't have that state entry in the script & you're tiny

• Script trying to stop animations but PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission not set

Because ... although the PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission is automatically granted when sitting, a prior call to llRequestPermissions is required! (Thank you wiki_wakka!)
