Some scripting from Emily - First of all I made the Santa out of prims then added a Pose Ball script I picked up from somewhere I can't remember where but I copied the script and contents into another pose ball and set about figuring out how it worked.
It had something features that i didn't need but I worked around them because I didn't want to change something and find out to late that it doesn't work without it.
Before I changed anything I made sure that the Pose ball worked like if I could get off Santa's lap and if I was facing the right way. I then added other stuff after that like random talking when click (I got this from a Little Penguin that follows you around) then I added a present that's given to you when you sit on Santa at first I tried putting it in another Script file but it didn't work so I ended up putting every thing into one script I've added it here if anyone would like to try and do something cool :)
//Pose Ball script, Revision 4.3
//Notecard configuration enabled, switchable link_message/touch_start/llListen support, sit_text, floating text, alpha.
//Version 4.3 fixs link_set hide/show and permission sensing issues.
//By CrystalShard Foo.
//Work started - October 10th.
//Last compile - November 7th.
//Modified by Emily MLCFiliae - November 20th 2007.
//This script will let you choose if you want to turn the ball visible on CLICK, or by using a SHOW/HIDE voice command.
//You can also set the offset and the title of the ball, as well as the sit button text - all with a notecard.
//This script is free and comes without support. Dont contact me. Ask a local geek for help if it gets messy.
// ** This script is NOT FOR SALE **
//You can use it in commercial products as long as you give this script to anyone who asks for it.
//You can use this source, distribute it and modify it freely, but leave the credits intact!
//(You can add your own name to the list, ofcourse. Like, "Modified by John Doe")
string TITLE="Sit on Santa's lap"; //This text will appear in the floating title above the ball
string ANIMATION="sit"; //Put the name of the pose/animation here!
vector offset=<0,0,-0.5>; //You can play with these numbers to adjust how far the person sits from the ball. (
