Wanting to make an attached object fire at an avatar no matter where they are positioned around me

[sisgenesis Aeon]

So im trying to make a attached obejct fire in the direction of a target no matter what their position is around me. So if they are to the left of me the object will fire out left, behind then behind, 45 degrees to my right.....etc etc. Any info or examples on how this can be achieved. Like how do i take my position, their position and my rotaiton and make this happen

I think llRotBetween might be the function you need, then rez the projectile at the offset*llRotBetween as well as the accel vector*llRotBetween, I'm not 100% sure though, I have a hard time with rotations myself

You never actually said that the weapon itself is supposed to turn to face the target, so the solution is quite simple:

llRezAtRoot("Bullet", llGetPos() + <0.5,0,0> * llGetRot(), Fudge * (llDetectedPos() - llGetPos() ),ZERO_ROTATION,1);

where Fudge is a scaling factor that you'll have to figure out by experimentation.  The bigger it is, the faster the bullet will fly. Don't forget to make the bullet physical.

If you actually want to point the weapon as well, then Ruthven is right.  You can use

llRotLookAt( llRotBetween(<1.0,0.0,0.0>,llVecNorm( llDetectedPos() - llGetPos() ) ), 1.0, 0.4 );

 assuming that the weapon's muzzle end is its +X end.
