Make sure you name the scripts right. Do not just copy/paste the script names from the Recording Modules folder.

Wrong Name: LPA Frame Capture (Position)

Proper Name:LPAL Frame Capture (Position)

Thanks!! but do you know how to make that work on listen also making that work by if i say start so it starts and play the animation and then stop so if the animation is move the prim to the left when say start it moves to the left and stop there:D

Short answer: Yes I know.

Long answer:

Edit the state testing in LPA Wizard script from this:

 

llDialog(owner,"Play your animation...",btn,-56);llListen( -56, "", owner, "");llListen( OPERATION_CHANNEL, "", owner, "lpa_lost");

 

to that:

 

//llDialog(owner,"Play your animation...",btn,-56);//llListen( -56, "", owner, "");llListen( OPERATION_CHANNEL, "", owner, "");

 It will listen to chat commands /55Play, /55Pause etc.

To move the object, look into llSetPos() or llMoveToTarget().

Note: Scaling don't work on physical objects.

Last answer: I only had a quick look into the scripts. I wouldn't recommend to change anything in them untill you are 100% sure what you are doing and how all the scripts work together.

That the thing i want to make the animation to my airplane gear so when typing gear it goes up like GEAR UP and when i type the gear again he next time it goes down GEAR DOWN.

Ok, first problem I see with the animator scripts is, if you shift-drag-copy your airplane, the animation is lost. Because scripts will reset when shift-copied. So you probably want to hard code the values of the up and down vectors of your landing gears.

I would recommend to build the landing gears out of less prims as possible. Using sculpted prims. Store each value you need, for each prim somewhere. (written in the script, or in the description field of the child prim, or anywhere else you can read them reliably.

Get the values with llGetLocalPos(), llGetLocalRot(). or llGetLinkPrimitiveParams()

With llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(); you can move, rotate them all from one script only. Not very elegant movement, but less laggy than having a script in each childprim.

Personally, I would wait for Mesh, and build the landging gears out of single mesh objects. Set the pivot point and swing them in and out with llSetLocalRot() and llTargetOmega(), slow and smooth. Like simple door scripts.
