Since a teleport my legs buckle and fold, I hover, my feet turn to one side

[Jaelienne]

Hi everyone. :matte-motes-smitten: I was teleporting a lot today, looking for a nice place to rent. After one "Jump" my legs suddenly folded under me with the feet folded strangely under me. A person in the office of the rental service (That was the place I TPed to) sent me an IM asking if everything was OK since he got strange script messages from me. :smileyfrustrated: I told him I had moving troubles but after flying up and down it looked alright again. But it happened again and again for the rest of the day. First I hover above ground, my feet move to a side, then my legs look like I am kneeling in the air. When I walk I look like my legs are crooked and I walk on my toes. I tried "Stop avatar animations" - Won't help. Tried clearing cache - No help. Took off every Hud, turned off the AO, took off clothes, relogged a few times. Didn't help either. I am using Phoenix Firestorm and I tried to just adjust the height offset (thought the hovering might cause it) didn't help. I read I in forum I should use the "Home" - button, but that didn't help either. I'm a noob around and within my first 3 weeks already encountered lots of strange bugs (Being a cloud was only one of them) and I usually find answers in forum. But this time it looks like I need your help, folks. Thanks a lot in advance for your efforts. :matte-motes-kiss:

You might be wearing shoes with a walk animation in them, that is conflicting with the Firestorm AO.

We've each had that happen many times as long as SL has been around. It's a conflict between two animations that are trying to control your av at the same time.  One typical situation is a sit animation that fails to let go if you forget to stand up before you teleport.  Dances will occasionally do that, for example, if you teleport home from a club without clicking the dance ball to stop dancing before you leave.  Depending on the animation, you may either be unable to stop at all or may stop in some grotesque position.  Sometimes you can clear the problem with the "Stop Avatar Animations" button.  Sometimes you can go back to the place where you got stuck, sit again, and stand up properly.  Sometimes you can wear an animation stopper long enough to make it quit.  If all else fails, you can relog to tell your graphics card to clear the decks and start over.  The only time relogging fails is if you have a rogue animation in something you are wearing -- like your shoes, as Lindal suggested.

Thanks for your answers. But as I already wrote: I took off my clothes, just to make sure. (And the shoes I wore were not animated) I canceled every AO. And as a noob went home dancing during the first week already, that's why I knew about the "Stop avatar animation" already But this time I was not animated nor sitting anywhere. I 've been looking at a rentable skyplatform and when I TPed back to their office I was all strange. Oo How would I "tell my graphic card to clear the decks if the problem persist when I log back in today? And thanks again to both of you for trying to help out. I really appreciate it

That's genuinely weird, I agree. If the problem doesn't go away when you relog, though, it can only be because the interfering animation is being re-triggered continuously. That is, a script in some object is telling your graphics card to start the animation over and over again. That's what the scripts in dance balls do normally, for example. The scripted object could either be something that you are wearing or could be something nearby. The way to tell the difference is to log in to a completely new sim that you have never visited before. Try Smith, for example. If you still have the problem, then you have to be wearing the scripted object. It could be in hair or fingernails, or in something transparent or very tiny, or inside another object (or yourself). If the problem DOES go away when you log in at a quiet sim, then the script is in something near where you normally log in. Finding it could take time, since it could potentially be anywhere in the sim and could be tiny, transparent, or buried. Maybe something that you wore and dropped (an earring, a face light ..... )?
