activation on sitting

[Tiggy3]

I have a script that creates a particle when i am standing still. I also want it to create a particle when I am sitting. I have added the following animations: string anim = llGetAnimation(llGetOwner());
if ((anim == "Standing") || (anim == "sit") || (anim == "groundsit") || (anim == "sitting")) .  The standing animation works fine, but nothing happens on sit. when i walk, the particals stop. when i stand still, the particle starts, when i sit, nothing happens.

You're using the wrong string values in the if statement for all but the standing animation state. See the wiki page for llGetAnimation here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetAnimation.

i have looked at those and have tried the sitting animation. It didnt work. What did work as a test, was to run a random animation like a dance, and insert that into the script, and that worked just fine, so all i need is the correct name for the sit state animation

Tiggy, assuming the script is in a HUD/attachment then a way to do this is to poll llGetAgentInfo in a timer

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetAgentInfo

example pcode

 

default
{
   state_entry()
   {
      llSetTimerEvent(1.0); // 1.0 = poll once a second, change to whichever
   }

   timer()
   {
      integer info = llGetAgentInfo(llGetOwner());
       
      if (info & (AGENT_ON_OBJECT | AGENT_SITTING))
      {   
           // avatar is sitting on a object or sitting on the ground
                    
           ... stop standing particles ...
           ... play sitting particles ...
      }
      else
      {
         ... stop sitting particles ...
       
         if (info & (AGENT_FLYING | AGENT_IN_AIR | AGENT_WALKING))
         {
            // avatar is moving in some way
          
            ... stop standing particles ...
         }
         else
         {
            // avatar is not moving
               
            ... start standing particles ...
         }
      }
   }
}

If you do continue with llGetAnimation, please do take a look at the wiki page I linked. There you'll see that the strings the function returns for the sitting states are "Sitting" and "Sitting on Ground" (and it's important to use the same capital letters – "Sitting" is not the same as "sitting").

Something that might be causing confusion is that llGetAnimation does not return the name of an animation that's playing, it returns the state the avatar is  in. So if your avatar is sat on something, llGetAnimation will return "Sitting" whatever animation your AO, or the object you're sitting on, has started.

Sorry this reply took so long! you were correct about the capital letters in "Sitting on Ground", I had missed one letter. Thanks, works great now.
