Gesture on infinite loop

[BlakeStrong9786]

My apologies for the noob question.  I have a blink gesture and I'd like to run all the time. How can make it loop infinitely and just continue, instead of eventually timing out ?

Animations get set to "loop" or "not-loop" when they are initially uploaded, and then they're locked in forever. If you need a non-looping animation to run repeatedly, you need to use a script. Something like
 

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
        llSetTimerEvent(X);  // change "X" to the animation duration in seconds, plus a little extra
    }

    timer()
    {
        llStartAnimation("animation_name");
    }
}

on any avatar or HUD attachment. You'll also need to put a copy of the animation into that object's contents.
