Thank you for your suggestion.
Information
Client-side alpha animation sequence function.
Alpha of links and faces affected are visually overrided.
Proposed Function Syntax: llSetObjectAlphaAnimation(integer mode, integer link_start, integer face_start, integer link_stop, integer face_stop, integer face_num, float rate)
• integer mode – bit field of Mode flags • integer link_start – starting link number in animation • integer face_start – starting face number in animation • integer link_stop – ending link number in animation • integer face_stop – ending face number in animation • integer face_num – set number of faces per link to include in the animation (optional) • float rate – frames per second (must not be zero)
Prim property can be set on any prim, but only the property used by the root prim is handled by the viewer. This means that only one animation protocol can be assigned to an object since the property is capable of affecting links other than the link where the prim property is set. I'm welcome to suggestions for multiple animation abilities covering multiple link/face arrays.
Benefits
Allows client-side alpha sequence animating.
Significant reduction of updates sent to viewers and in-turn significant bandwidth reduction.
Current prim size,rotation,position and/or alpha transition effect practices can evolve with the implementation of this function.
High link count updating is not affected by bandwidth settings or sim lag.
Areas of interest:
Animated pets or babies.
Animated models and art.
Animated avatar components. (mesh facial features, wings, tails)
Animated vehicle components.
Sheathing/unsheathing/stowing/drawing/disappearing/appearing of weapons or components.
Suggestions are welcome.|
