I believe what you actually need to do is create a deformer. Take a look at this archived tutorial which explains how to do it. Archived Deformer Tutorial Note you will need one animation per limb. Longer arms to match the length of the legs. You then load the new animations into an AO or a prim to wear on attach as a HUD with a sequenced animation script so that both arms will "play" at same time. I have not tried it myself, but have seen some packed tha way.

I made an animation that requires a prim to open and close like a door and execute the animation at same time- al on touch? Has anyone seen a script like that? I am unsure what to call it so not sure how to look for it and I cannot script so I cannot write it. I did use 3greeneggs.com to make the moving prim part of the script but am absolutely clueless on how I would have it execute the animation part. Here is what 3greeneggs gave me: // This script was auto-generated by Ann Enigma's script autogenerator // available at http://www.3greeneggs.com/autoscript/ default { touch_start(integer total_number) { llSetPos(llGetPos()+<0,0,.5>); } } I am guessing if I add : llSetPos(llGetPos()+<0,0,-.5>); It will go back down (am at work so haven't tried it). Now what I want is the part where the animation wd go into effect. I tried looking at the usual poseball script but I am afraid I simply don't know what parts to cut and paste (nor where for that matter!) I do apologize if this all sounds silly but guys, I don't have much in the way of script knowledge.. And I thank you all for reading.

Re: Dwarf Catcher - aren't we supposed to cal them Little People now? Re: Florida and 500 feet under - Uhm.. nope- still the same hot, sticky wish it was Winter already sort of August in Miami kind of day here. And~ I higly recommend the other thread that was linked to earlier. Together, these two are .. well, there should be a prize given. /me glues herself to the Thread of Awesomeness

This is genuinely one of the best threads evah!! Carry on- even watching from the sidelines it is grand.

Not everyone there hates SL- most will tell you they/we still come to SL. I am still premium in SL and have my little home here. But no reason one cannot have dual citizenship, as it were. But no one can or should decide for others or even really try to convince. We all have our preferences- chocolate, vanilla, strawberry- choices are a great thing.

Summer, the best way to find out what is better/worse/different or meh about any of the new virtual worlds popping up is to try them out. For one thing, there is no reason for an either/or scenario. As a long time resident of SL - almost 6 years now - I feel I have seen some of the best and worse SL has had to offer. For the past two years, I have been calling InWorldz home. That doesn't mean I don't keep a pied-à-terre here in SL! I come here for dancing and exploring and socializing with the friends that have chosen to stay here. I want to build and create- then I revel in InWorldz! I tried Avination also, but for me was not a good fit. Doesn't mean others don't love it there! Thing to keep in mind is choices are a good thing- as for IW being a tad behind in the times? Sure, but they are catching up and doing it carefully. Think about this, they have a huge catalogue of mistakes to peruse and avoid! If you find yourself curious, come on by and say hello- we'll be happy to welcome you.

Now this was in the "good old days" but the best post ever that I can recall was the one about the woman who lost her **bleep** under some floor boards- I really wish I had book marked it...

Have not seen this happen, but may I suggest a clean reinstall?

/me still hugs the old thread...

I really need to update my inventory... Last night I wore a necklace and earrings set that I purchased early '07 I think... It had bling- quite a lot of bling- fortunately, it also had an off button- ahhh.. a trip down memory lane

Hello again everyone- Czari was right - I needed to go to the old MP and also reset my box from where I moved it. I followed her instructions - 1) Reset MB in-world 2) go back to the old MP page and update the box once it shows up 3) Sync with inventory... In process of the sync now- it is a lot of items! My thanks again to every one for their help. I guess while eventually I will need to move to DD I don't have to do it from scratch but can do a bit at a time with out disappearing off MP altogether.. hopefully, Talon Faire will be back on line soon. Thanks again!

Well, I will bite the bullet and stop procrastinating and get on with redoing my store. One thing for sure- it isn't getttin done on its own! Thanks everyone for the input. :matte-motes-grin:

Nothing has gone wrong for me personally with DD- as I said in my OP, I had resisted the change. However the forums have been rather peppered with some at times amusing and at times horrifying tales of items misdelivered, merchants not being paid, etc- Rolig apparently has read the same posts since she commented on some things going awry for some folks. In any case, there doesn't seem to be any other choice for me if I intend to continue using the MP since now apparently my entire store has disappeared.

Thank you, Rolig I had not. On your recommendation I went to do that now and I do not see that option. Further- every single one of my items has disappeared! I now have ZERO items listed!!! Nothing- everything is gone... I realize MP hasn't quite been going well lately and that there have been some instances of - misdeliveries? But really? The entire store? Just disappeared... I did not delete these items - So - does this now mean I have no other choice but to subject myself to the possibility of a DD nightmare?

I recently moved my home where I had had my MB rezzed- Now when I log in to my new home where I re-rezzed the box I get an error message that says something about it has not been able to connect to MarketPlace in a while. I am aware of DD of course- as well as how many things have gone wrong with it and am choosing not to make the move until they actually make it work - any ideas what could have happened to my MB? I deleted that one and rezzed a new one but had the same message on the following day. TIA

I can't make heads or tails of the interface. I have watched your tuts and I know you swear by this program- but wow there is nothing intuitive about the interface. In QA, I sat in front of it, moved the limbs and I was on my way. This thing needs a damn manual- and then a live interpreter Maybe am dense! I woudn't be surprised - but wow.. So I did come up with sort of a workaround for the QA's lack of inserting frames. I have a couples anim am working on - but it was too short and the actual kiss part happened so quickly you would not see it at all- my mistake - so to fix it, I made two new anims and saved - with the two new mannequins opened, I added the existing ones and copied the first few frames into the new ones! I would select Male 1 go to the frame, copy - select the second Male anim, go to the frame - paste. Monotonous, yes - but effective. And yay- I have a kiss. Re smoothness - I can relate Medhue! As we have spoken of the hardest thing is getting a loop in somewhere other than at the second frame. Nothing I can do to choose to loop from say the middle other than the end and then of course it is no longer continuous animation. I know the answer to that- just keep trying! But Argh!!!

@Couldbe- Oh I misunderstood- I thought you had a version tha would let you Add a frame. @Helm- Agreed! I really love the program - just wish someone wd tweak it up a bit. However - Medhue will most likely tell you about SLat animation program SLat - it does allow inserting frames. And here is a tut Medhue himself made you can find it here: in case the above is too small.I have never been able to quite grasp SLat tbh and prefer QA- but inserting frames can't be beat!

I had not - which of course seems quite obvious in retrospect. Oh, and btw - SL is in absolutely no danger from me EVER making these- oh the horror!! I would post a picture but I can't figure out how to attach the eye bleach you would need afterwards...

"Add Frame"? Hmmm.. what is that? I do not recall seeing that one- and my paste works.. I am using the 2009-12-30 version. Anything exciting about the 2010 I should know about? ETA that I use the '08 version when I want to be able to cut frames out.

Thanks!

Thanks again and did look at MP- some lovely ones on there. I shall experiment tonight. Thanks again both of you.

Ooh!! Now that sounds promising! OK next Q... how do I make an oil tat layer? Tuts anyone? Hmm.. what do you win? I will think on that

Thanks- but nope- I am not talking mesh. These things have been around forever- Bits & Bobs uses them I think? if not them others. Yes I am sure they are skins- thing is how do they get them to appear shiny on the adverts? I always thought it was the skin was shiny then the advert shot- but maybe it is flat and the shiny is post processing.. no clue

Folks- how the heck are those his and hers pink and blue shiny skins made that are used in Animation Adverts? I would like to move away from using "real" people and on to that- Any help hugely appreciated! :heart:

Here is a download page: QAvimator There are three to choose from, I think the '08 is the one that still has the Cut function working. The newer ones do not. So to be safe, I would keep your old one AND get the newer version as well.
