Permission
PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION

Stops the specified animation anim (inventory, built-in, or UUID) on the avatar who granted the script the PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission (automatically granted for attached or sat-on objects).

Stop animation anim for agent that granted PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION if the permission has not been revoked.

How to use
llStopAnimation("");

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”
  • If the animation to be stopped is the only playing animation (as found via llGetAnimationList), it will continue to play to its end (if looped it will continue indefinitely)
  • if you must stop a looped animation, playing a single frame non-looped one immediately after stopping it, at low priority, will clear the list.
