[Strange]

if its is a hud llKey2Name() should always work as it is always in the same region as the agent wearing it.

[How did you learn LSL? Linden Scripting language]

it all started for me in the wiki

 

Actually for me i feel like the scripting pages of the wiki was my home for some time.  You can also enhance that by looking at / studying / altering many of the scripts in the LSL Library

If that works then you can drag it from inventory to the new...

[Create and edit BVH animations using Blender 2.58a....]

I am thinking this did not make it into Blender 2.59, as i do not see this "root transform only" in the export options.  Would it just be silly to try replacing these 2 files, with the ones mentioned here, in 2.59.

I'm a blender noob (and loving it) so forgive me if this should me common knowledge
