How to immobilise avatar - HELP!

[RobotGirlOwnedAndControlled]

Hi,

I am creating a packing crate which is worn and hides the avatar. It also needs to immobilise the avatar so it cannot move whilst wearing the crate.

I have achieved this using the function llTakeControls and preventing any user input from being acted on.

However there appears to be a glitch - when the item is first worn the avatar is able to rotate. This seems to just happen once and after that the avatar doesn't move again.

Can anyone help with understanding the reason behind this and preventing it?

Or is there a better way of achieving this immobilisation?

Thank you

Seeing the script will probably tell us why the avatar is "able to rotate when wearing for the first time."

Yes - sorry I was unable to show the script before, but here is the relevant part:

 llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);

 run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if(PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS & perm)
        {
            llTakeControls(CONTROL_BACK |
                CONTROL_FWD |
                CONTROL_DOWN |
                CONTROL_UP |
                CONTROL_LEFT |
                CONTROL_RIGHT |
                CONTROL_ROT_LEFT |
                CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT,
                TRUE, FALSE);
        }

}

am not sure where in the script you are calling for permissions. Normally we do this in the attach event

this example code does what you are intending

default
{
    attach(key id)
    {
        if (id) 
            llRequestPermissions(id, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);    
    }
    
    run_time_permissions(integer perms)
    {
        if (perms)
            llTakeControls(
                CONTROL_FWD |
                CONTROL_BACK |
                CONTROL_LEFT |
                CONTROL_RIGHT |
                CONTROL_ROT_LEFT |
                CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT |
                CONTROL_UP |
                CONTROL_DOWN |
                CONTROL_LBUTTON |
                CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON ,
                TRUE, FALSE
            );
    }
}

add ps. we don't need to code a control event to prevent controls being passed in this way

Thank you - yes I am asking for permissions in the attach event, just as illustrated above. It DOES work - except for that first keypress, which seems to allow a slight rotation.
