I can see two possible reasons for the sender LLUUID. Either 1) The sim does not check the IP address of the UDP packet sender, and thus needs to know who the animation applies to, or 2) The sim uses the LLUUID as a shortcut to lookup a data structure that contains the IP address of the agent, thus making it quicker to authenticate.
I certainly hope it is number 2, as number 1 would mean you could apply an animation to anyone in the sim. -Sam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Hurliman Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 11:33 AM To: Development list for libsecondlife Subject: Re: [libsecondlife-dev] Animations and packets...

But I do have a couple questions, if anyone has a moment. In AgentAnimation, there are a couple LLUUIDs, one for the sender, and one for the AnimID. I'm not sure what the sender represents, is this for cases when someone or something in the world forces you to perform an animation? Since there's no "target" field or anything like that, I can't quite complete the picture of how this packet would do that... But I'd guess that I'd want the sender to be myself, so maybe "sessionInformation.agentID" would be an appropritate fill in for that field? As for the animID, how does one find the LLUUID's for the default gestures? > > Thanks again for all the advice! > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes, you want to put your own AgentID in that field. A lot of packets from the viewer to the sim require you to put your AgentID in them, I don't know exactly how the sim code works so I can't say why but it's a common occurrence in the protocol. To get the gesture uuids from your inventory you will need to parse through your inventory at login and store a list of all the inventory items that are gestures. Someone else could probably explain how to do this in detail better than myself.
