Can someone with script knowledge please help me

[Kimm Starr]

This script works all but the inventory animation. Does anyone know how to make the inventory animation work while avatar is climbing the stairs. Thanks!

I'm not able to log in and test anything at the moment.

However, it looks like the script is requesting permission to animate, but not waiting until permission is granted before starting the animation. One of those things you might be able to get away with sometimes, but it's certainly not recommended. The SL Wiki says:

Regardless of whether granting is automatic, you should always use the run_time_permissions event. Granting permissions takes time, and you shouldn't assume it's completed until the run_time_permissions handler gets invoked

Try this and see if it works (again, this isn't tested code):

Hi Kim,
I checked the script with the "climb-rope" animation from here:

https://www.outworldz.com/lib/Easy%20La ... b-rope.bvh

This worked for me in the Kitely Merchants Sandbox without problem.
Of cause you need to add the animation to the ladder-object containg the script
Only slight issue I have with the script is, that you first take the sit-pose before you start climbing up.
Cheers
Min

Thanks so much for your help, both of you. It works!
