To touch or sit on, an object, the object needs to be identified. The object name is not unique. For instance, you rez out a chair, called “Chair”, you duplicate that chair 5 times, you now have 6 objects called “Chair”. If you were to command an AvaDroid to sit on the Chair, well you can see the issue, which chair to sit on.

Similarly, linked objects, are a composition of one “Root” object and linked “Child” objects. It is seen as one object. An Example, commonly “Dance Pads” comprise of the Root Object (pad) and numerous Linked objects (pads), to instruct the AvaDroid to sit on Dance Pad will have it attempt to sit on the Root Dance pad as it can't see the other pads.

Every rezzed object has a UNIQUE UUID. 6 chairs will have 6 unique UUID identifiers. In linked objects, the Root object will have a unique UUID identifier and each child object will have a unique UUID identifier .

How does SL and OS handle object UUIDs? The Asset DataBase has 1 copy of a specific object with all the object details. Many people may have this Object in their Inventory, which is a list, with an inventory object pointing to the one object in the asset DataBase. Each item (Objects, Animations, Scripts ….) in your Inventory has a unique UUID , just for you. When you rez that object out into the world, a Copy is rezzed with its own unique UUID, different from the DataBase UUID and your inventory UUID. The rezzed copy, UUID wise, is unique.

The solution is to work with UUIDs to be accurate and specific.

I will be Referencing the Firestorm Viewer. Other viewers may have other mechanisms to obtain an objects UUID or Key. You want your AvaDroid sit on a specific object (Chair, Pose Ball, Dance Ball), right click on the object, select edit.

• 1: Ensure General is selected.
• 2: Click Copy Keys
• In IM or Local: type <name>! sit <CNTL v> to paste the UUID <return>
• Example: Anne! sit 59de9e89-83a6-a6ad-8760-594bbf76d853
  The same goes for touch.

• 1: Right click and edit the dance pad. Note, with highlight on, 8 dance pads are highlighted.This is a linked object.
• 2: Tick “Edit Linked”
• 3: Left click on target object (Linked Dance Pad)
• 4: Copy Keys.

• In IM or Local: type <name>! sit <CNTL v> to paste the UUID <return>

• Example: Anne! sit 59de9e89-83a6-a6ad-8760-594bbf76d853
  The same goes for touch.

For Script entries, simply “sit (UUID)” where the UUID is pasted from “Copy Keys”/
