Simple Animation Override for Walk

This example demonstrates how to override a standard walk animation with a custom animation. It shows practical use of llGetAnimationList to detect when a specific animation is playing and swap it for another.

//Simple Animation Override for Walk
key old_anim = "6ed24bd8-91aa-4b12-ccc7-c97c857ab4e0";
string new_anim="yoga_float";
integer status;
list check;
key owner;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        owner = llGetOwner();
        llRequestPermissions(owner, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
        check = [old_anim];
    }

    run_time_permissions(integer p)
    {
        if(p & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
        {
            llSetTimerEvent(0.2);
        }
    }

    timer()
    {
        if(llGetAgentInfo(owner) & AGENT_WALKING)
        {
            list anims = llGetAnimationList(owner);
            if(~llListFindList(anims, check))
            {
                status = 1;
                llStartAnimation(new_anim);
                llStopAnimation(old_anim);
            }
        }
        else if(status)
        {
            llStopAnimation(new_anim);
            status = 0;
        }
    }

    on_rez(integer p)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
}

Caveats

There is no internal mechanism to get the name of the animations playing. You can only work with animation keys.
Standard animations can be started and stopped by scripts, so the list returned may not accurately reflect the avatar’s state. Use llGetAgentInfo and llGetAnimation when this matters.
Some motions are local to the viewer and cannot be detected by scripts.
Animations that are triggered by other animations are local to the viewer and cannot be detected by scripts.
