[BUG-231989] Striding animation doesn't appear to play

[sl-service-account]

What just happened?

Using llSetAnimationOverride, and trying to add an animation for 'striding' doesn't appear to do play anything, the striding animation doesn't appear to play to begin with.

What were you doing when it happened?

Testing/creating AOs and animations

What were you expecting to happen instead?

Striding animation to play when ontop of avatars or small prims.

Other information

Appears to be a problem with multiple users, we have no idea what triggers playing the striding animation

Hi OpenPony.

This viewer is not supported by Linden Lab. For support with third party viewers, please contact that viewer's developers. The official list of TPVs can be found here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory

If you can reproduce this problem on the official Second Life Viewer, please update this issue with information on the supported viewer version accordingly.

That said, there may be some other animation playing at a higher priority than the striding animation. Try removing all AOs and then playing the striding animation again. This tool may help you debug it - Enable the Develop menu in Preferences > Advanced. Tick Develop menu > Avatar > Animation Info.

Let us know how it goes. Dan

Dan Linden,

 

I've tested with a fresh install of the standard SL viewer, and it appears that the striding animation plays for less than a few miliseconds when jumping/falling off a heavily slanted surface. Most reliably triggered by walking off a very steep wall (60+ degrees). It also repeats the animation multiple times. This applies to both the standard and Firestorm viewer.

I was able to figure this out through using the Animation Info menu, and then confirming with a script that only overwrote the striding animation with an animation that included bone translation to deform bones.

I am unsure if this is an accurate category for this problem.

Thank you for reading!

OpenPony

Hi OpenPony,

Since this reproduces on multiple viewer and is based on scripted animations, I'm going to move this to the Server bug report queue so they can help you further. One thing they are going to ask for is a copy of the script or a sample script to reproduce the striding effects ourselves. If that is an obstacle, it may be easiest to send a copy of the object to us in world or rez it out and provide a slurl to its location.

Thanks!

Thank you for the reading,

 

The problem appears to happen without an AO or any script to overrwrite animations as well. The striding animation state can be triggered most reliably when walking off a heavily slanted triangular prism.

I can still provide an object and script/animation that replaces the striding animation with one that deforms bones. This could help show when it does triggers the animation state.

Testing with Second Life Release 6.5.3.568554 (64bit) on Second Life Server 2022-04-01.570311, I was able to confirm that the Striding animation does in fact play, though as @openpony suggested, it appears as a very short transitory animation.

To observe this I did the following:

1. Found a very easy to observe animation
   • I used an imported version of avatar_dead.bvh set to loop, with no transition time. It's obvious when the animation is playing because the avatar raises an arm and slumps while standing
2. Placed the animation and this script in an object, then wore the object: ```Java default { attach(key id) { if ( id ) llRequestPermissions(id , PERMISSION_OVERRIDE_ANIMATIONS); else if ( llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_OVERRIDE_ANIMATIONS ) llResetAnimationOverride("ALL"); } run_time_permissions(integer perms) { if ( perms & PERMISSION_OVERRIDE_ANIMATIONS ) { string anim = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ANIMATION, 0); llOwnerSay("Striding animation set to '" + anim + "'"); llSetAnimationOverride( "Striding", anim); } } }

3. As you said, when the agent stands on certain edges (like the top edge of a 3m cube rotated to <0,38,0> degrees), the Striding animation briefly plays, albeit briefly

   So while the striding animation doesn't play very often or for very long, it does in fact trigger.
