Can't find a script that animates avatar on touch of a HUD button

[Galatheus]

You'd think there is, but why can't I find a script on MP that animates our avi on touch of a button.  I want to make a hud that triggers the animation inside another object, that's it no menu, just a HUD button that triggers the animation inside a wearable object, anyone?

this should work,

enjoy

integer anim_status;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
    }
    
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
    }
    touch_start(integer detected)
    {
        if (anim_status)
        {
            llStopAnimation("sit");
            anim_status = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            llStartAnimation("sit");
            anim_status = 1;
        }
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
        {
            return;
        }
    }
}

code clean up

integer anim_status;
default
{    
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
    }
    touch_start(integer detected)
    {
        if (anim_status)
        {
            llStopAnimation("sit");
            anim_status = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            llStartAnimation("sit");
            anim_status = 1;
        }
    }
}

And to prevent any script errors...

integer anim_status;

default
{    
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
    }
    touch_start(integer detected)
    {
        if (llGetPermissionsKey() == NULL_KEY)
        {
            return;
        }

        if (anim_status)
        {
            llStopAnimation("sit");
            anim_status = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            llStartAnimation("sit");
            anim_status = 1;
        }
    }
}

two scripts are needed for this

1) HUD script that knows about the animation(s) in the other worn object
2) Animate script in the other worn object that contains the animation and holds the wearer's permissions

the Animate script listens for a message from the HUD

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Listen

pcode basics example for same owner of HUD and other worn object

// HUD script

integer CHANNEL = -161616;  // some channel number

touch_start(...)
{
    llWhisper(CHANNEL, "Name of animation");
}


// Animate script

state_entry
{
    llListen(CHANNEL, "", llGetOwner(), "");
    
    ... request owner permissions ...
}

listen (..., string text, ...)
{
   // check that script has permission
   if (llGetPermissionsKey() == llGetOwner())   
   {   
      // check that 'text' is an animation in Contents
      if (llGetInventoryType(text) == INVENTORY_ANIMATION) 
      {
         llStartAnimation(text);
        
         ... stop any previous started animation ...
      }
   } 
}
