Anyone have scripts for animesh?

Anyone have scripts for animesh?

Try this...

Code: Select all

////--------Shows/Hides mesh when animated....

float animation_speed = 0.5;
integer total_prims;
integer link_counter;

default
{ state_entry() { total_prims = llGetNumberOfPrims(); llSetTimerEvent(animation_speed ); } timer() { link_counter++; llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0, ALL_SIDES); llSetLinkAlpha( link_counter,1.0, ALL_SIDES); if( link_counter == total_prims) { link_counter = 0; } }
}

//// -------- end of script --- copy up to here.

Thanks so much!

That script shows/hides the parts making up the animesh. As far as I'm aware animations are played using llStartObjectAnimation (see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlStartObjectAnimation)

Thus, for example, if you have an animation called "washhands" and put it in the root prim, add the script below to the root prim, save, and the animesh avatar will wash its hands.

Code: Select all

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llStartObjectAnimation("washhands");
    }
}

Here's another three examples.....
SOURCE: https://youtu.be/0n_sgd_1920

Code: Select all

/////-----Use in a prim as a control device to click a prim/box to control animation or if you insist on using a mesh only approach then you must right click on the mesh and choose "touch".

integer running = 0;
string anim = "";
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOwnerSay("Touch to start the animation");
    }
 
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(running == 1)
        {
            llStopObjectAnimation(anim);
            llOwnerSay("Stopped " + anim);
            running = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            anim = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ANIMATION, 0);
            llStartObjectAnimation(anim);
            llOwnerSay("Started " + anim);
            running = 1;
        }
    }
}

This version plays randomized animations....

Code: Select all

//---Play Random Animations....

float randomized_time = 7.0; // experiment with this time
float animation_speed = 0.5;
integer total_prims;
integer link_counter;

action()
{
    llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);
    llSetLinkAlpha( link_counter,1.0, ALL_SIDES);
}
    
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        total_prims = llGetNumberOfPrims();
        state warmup;
    }
}

state warmup
{
    state_entry()
    {
        state trigger;   
    }
    
    changed( integer c) 
    {
        if ( c & CHANGED_LINK) 
        {
            llResetScript();
        }
    }
}
    
state trigger
{
    state_entry()
    {
       llSetTimerEvent(animation_speed);
    }
        
    timer()
    {
       link_counter++;
       action();
       if( link_counter == total_prims)
       {
           link_counter = 0;
           state wait;
       }
    }
}

state wait
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(randomized_time));
    }
    
    changed( integer c) 
    {
        if ( c & CHANGED_LINK) 
        {
            llResetScript();
        }
    }
     
    timer()
    {
       state warmup;
    }
}

In this example you prevent root from animating....

integer link_counter = 2; // 2 is the first childprim number in a linkset
integer total_prims;
set_alpha()
{
    llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0,-1);
    llSetLinkAlpha( LINK_ROOT,1.0,-1);
    llSetLinkAlpha( link_counter,1.0, -1);
}
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        total_prims = llGetNumberOfPrims();
        llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 1.0,-1);
        llSetTimerEvent(animation_speed );
        state forward;
    }
}

{
    timer()
    {
        link_counter++;

        if( link_counter == total_prims)
        {
            state reverse;
        }
    }
}
state reverse
{
    timer()
    {
       link_counter--;
       set_alpha();
       if( link_counter == 2)
        {
            state forward;
        }  
    }

Again, it depends a little on how you define an animesh script. Only the first of those scripts plays an animation, the others would work just as well on a non-animesh linkset. That's not to say that standard linkset scripts are without merit. Indeed, as far as I can tell (and I'm very new to this), they will have to do all the heavy-lifting the NPC functions have built-in.

Here's another three examples.....

When it refers to linkset they are animated meshes with multiple meshes versus one single binded mesh....

Hi, Here is a simple Animesh script I came accross. Any mesh Avatar (that you can wear) can be made into animesh. Pull mesh avatar out of inventory and onto the ground, click on it to edit. Under the features tab in edit menu, check the animated mesh box. Then add this script and one or more animations. Click on the avatar and it will perform those animations.

The depth of my ignorance in all matters mesh knows no bounds...

When it refers to linkset they are animated meshes with multiple meshes versus one single binded mesh....

I've been using llSetKeyframedMotion to get animesh avatars (bots hereafter) to patrol. Some simple code below is a first attempt to get a bot to move between a set of box prims (which are required but could be made phantom and transparent).

The markers have to be named marker0, marker1, marker2, et seq and I colour face 1 green to aid orientation as the bot derives its rotation from the next marker located within 40 m by means of the llSensor function.

The tendency for the bot to effect a gradual turn can be countered by having two prims per turn, one oriented roughly as per the previous prim and the next pointing in the direction of the next prim beyond the turn.

At present the total number of markers is entered in the script and the speed can also be varied.

The bot should die if no marker can be found but it can also be killed by chatting "die" on channel 123.

A small amount of code is borrowed from a more sophisticated script by Kayaker Magic which has lots of good ideas beyond the basics shown here.

The avatar is Ferd's Quebot

Hope this is of interest. It could, of course, be extended to read locations from a notecard, thereby reducing lag.

integer BOTCHAN = 123;

integer gMarkCount = 0;

rotation gRotOld;
float SPEED = 0.5; //smaller is faster

rotation f_rotDir(vector localAxisToPointWith, vector target, vector origin)
{   
     return llRotBetween(localAxisToPointWith*ZERO_ROTATION, target-origin);
}

SFrame(vector pos,rotation rot, float seconds)
{
//From Kayaker Magic
        llSetKeyframedMotion([pos-llGetPos(),rot/llGetRot(),seconds],
