<div>After the avatar has confirmed and accepted the animation,
there is a protocol, which is certainly more complicate, to

:(<br>
I still do not get it.<br>
<br>
Below is how I think the animation system works.<br>
Let me know where I am wrong.<br>
I have a Avatar or a NPC with an attachment.<br>
The attachment has script which plays an animation using an
animation function like llStartAnimation().<br>
Now like any other script, the script when triggered, will
run on the server side. (Right ?)<br>
When the server encounters the animation function the
server will send a message to the client asking it to play
an animation with that UUID<br>
If the client has an animation with that UUID it will
animate the Avatar or NPC with that animation else it will
ask the server to send the animation and will animate when
it receives it.<br>
If the animation is internal animation and if it is, as you
say, part of the client then the client already has it and
should be able to animate the Avatar/NPC<br>
<br>
Sorry to belabor this but it seems I am obviously missing a
major concept and would like to figure out what :))<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Thanks for pointing out the BVH files.<br>
121 files!!<br>
A bit of a pain uploading them :)<br>
You also loose the per bone priorites which you
get with internal/default animations.<br>
Also I am assuming that user loaded animations are
not as efficient as internal ones. Right?<br>
<br>
I am still curious why the internal animations do
not play.<br>
As far as I know all animations run on client
side.<br>
The triggers for animation can come from client
side (example when a users presses a key to make
the avatar walk)<br>
or from server side (example when if it is being
called from script).<br>
NPCs animations are triggered from scripts.<br>
How is this different from Avatar animations being
triggered from scripts ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Because some animations are built into the
viewer and npcs dont use a viewer and perhaps
for security reasons. Im not really completely
sure to be honest.<br>
