Gestures allow your avatar to perform a variety of animations, sounds, or other actions automatically as you chat. You can trigger gestures with pre-defined function keys, or make them automatically play when you say a specific word or phrase in conversation.
If you don't know how to perform a gesture that you already have in your inventory, you can easily find out.
- View your Inventory and open the Gestures folder.
- Right-click the appropriate gesture and choose Open.
- Look at the entry for Trigger. The gesture plays whenever it encounters this text in chat.
- Or, look at the Shortcut Key. You can press this key (or key combination) any time in or out of chat to perform this gesture.
A note on gesture performance
Second Life® currently performs only the first gesture it finds in chat. If you place a later gesture in the same chat line, it is not read as a gesture. You can often use this to your advantage; for example, if you're trying to tell someone how to bow: You type:
Just type /bow
You say: Just type <avatar bows>
You type: /bow Just type /bow
You say: Just type /bow <avatar bows>
