Attach object when gesture is played.

[Avatou]

Hello people, can anyone help me on how i can make a script that attaches and object(animesh) when the gesture is played? Thank you

Generally speaking, getting a script to react to a gesture is easy enough. One approach is to use a listen event where the script is listening for a specific keyword on a specific channel from a specific source. For example, put the following scrip into a prim

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(-5,"",llGetOwner(),"ping");
    }
    
    listen(integer channel, string name, key uuid, string msg)
    {
        llOwnerSay("heard keyword '" + msg + "' from "+ llKey2Name(uuid) + " on channel "+(string)channel);
    }
}

Then create a custom gesture that has this for the chat to say:

/-5ping

When you trigger that gesture, it will speak the work "ping" on channel -5. This won't show up in local chat (because we used a negative channel number), but the scripted object from above will hear that as long as it's within normal chat range to you (since the gesture technically speaks through you). When the script hears this, it will speak its own diagnostic chat directly to you via llOwnerSay().

Building upon that, you can use either llAttachToAvatar() or llAttachToAvatarTemp() in place of the llOwnerSay() from the above example to attach the object to your avatar. See their respective wiki pages for info on how to use them. And be aware that you will nee to ensure that the object has permission to attach in the first place. So you will need to request the permissions prior to attempting to attach. This is also explained in the linked wiki pages.

Did you mean to attach the object to other avatars or just yourself ?
