Urgent help please

[garey Solo]

I created a swimming pool. Bought a non static swimming animation and can't figure out how to use it. I added the animation to the water. It animated my avatar but I stayed in the same place. No swimming along the water,  just swimming on the spot. Can anyone tell me how to make my avi move along with the animation please? I'm completely stuck!

Thanks advance.

Didn't the AO come with an instructions notecard? If it didn't, you should ask one from the merchant. And what happens if you try using your keyboard arrows to move forward/backward, /left/right?

Just a guess, but did you set the water to phantom (and as a phantom prim make sure it's not linked to anything else)?

[garey Solo]

Hi good advice . I will try both

[garey Solo]

I tried the arrow keys . They just move my camera angles aroung and not my avi. I have the water set to phantom and it isnt linked to anythiing .

I;ve sent out an IM to the creator also.

i posted this to the other discussion ... but

couldn't you do it like the dance balls in a club? when you are animated by one of those, you can move around where you want. There's an old script in the library for a dance ball, maybe you could use it: http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryDanceBall

 

not like the little pose balls that you sit on and dance, but the other ones that are often over the dance floor like a disco ball that you click and allow them to animate you while you are standing.

Instead of putting the animation into the pool water, try "playing" the animation with your avatar - find the animation in your inventory and double click it and then select "play in-world" in the dialog box that will pop up. It may be meant to work like a walk or dance animation and not be part of an object.

This is like what I suggested in his other thread.

me too right above yours. i'd seen the post that it was a duplicate topic and reposted here.
