Animations and Permissions help

[Ralph Honi]

I have a HUD with several buttons on it to start some animations.  The buttons communicate to a main animation "handler" script living the root prim of the HUD.  The following script for that "handler" works fine for my avatar.  What the problem is ... it does not work for other Avatars.   I figure it has to do with Run_Time_Permission so I am attempting to come up with a script to incorporate the Run Time and that is where I am stumbling.  Any help would be appreciated!  I have shortened the scripts for demonstration purposes.

This Script works fine on my Avatar only;

key avatar;
string anim;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        avatar = llGetOwner();
        llRequestPermissions(avatar, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
    }
    
    link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string str, key id)
    { 
        if(str == "forward")
        {
            llStartAnimation("forward");
            anim = "forward";
        }
                
        else if(str == "right")
        {
            llStartAnimation("right turn");
            anim = "right turn";
        }
            
        if(str == "stop_anim" || str == "clear")
        {
            llStopAnimation((string) anim);
        }
    }
}

 Here is what I am trying with no success;

key avatar;
string anim;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        avatar = llGetOwner();
        llRequestPermissions(avatar, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
    }
    
    link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string str, key id)
    { 
        if(str == "forward")
        {
            anim = "forward";
        }
                
        else if(str == "right")
        {
            anim = "right turn";
        }
    }
            
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
            llStartAnimation((string) anim);
    }   
}

It's a common problem: The permission is being asked on state_entry which only gets triggered when you reset your script or compile it (since you have no other state than default). So the HUD won't get permission of the new avatar because it never requests them. Since it is a HUD, do the opermission requesting in the attach event.

"Yur da Man"!   set up the permissions on the attach event and it works great on other avatars ... thanks!
