    I guess I must be dense :(<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>

              <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>
