How do I make my avatar face the point it is moving towards when using "llMoveToTarget".

[Vindictii]

I am using llMoveToTarget to make my avatar move from point to point. Unfortunately, when my avatar moves to the location he does not turn to face the location - he continues to face the same direction regardless of where he moves to. The script that triggers the movement is on the avatar's HUD.

I have tried several functions (llLookAt and rotation functions) but they all rotate the button and not the avatar. Is there a function that I have overlooked?

EIther llLookAt or llRotLookAt should work, but I suspect the problem lies in how you are using them. If you place your script in an attached item (a "button", maybe?), then those functions will rotate the attachment.  If your script is in something that your avatar is seated on, the function will turn the seat, and thus also your avatar.  You will of course then also need to get PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION to let you make the "sit" animation stop and replace it with something that is more suitable.

The only way I know to rotate an avatar (as opposed to a linkset on which an avatar is sitting) is with RLV's @setrot call.  So you''d need to be using a viewer with RLV enabled (i.e. not the official one) and then call llOwnerSay("@setrot:SomeAngleInRadians=force") before the llMoreToTarget call.  It's not terribly accurate but it's all that's available.

Thanks. I recall reading something about having to sit on the object for it to work the way I was using it. I wonder if that is why I was having trouble with my camera control script - I think I tied it to the llLookAt function...

You can't accurately read an avatar's rotation unless the avatar is sitting on something or in mouselook.  From the wiki:

Quote

llGetRot incorrectly reports the avatars rotation when called from the root of an attached object, use llGetLocalRot for root prims, instead

• llGetRot will return an accurate facing for Avatars seated or in mouselook, but only a rough direction otherwise when called from an attached prim.
• When called in an attachment's child prim, the reported rotation will only be visually correct if the object's root is attached to ATTACH_AVATAR_CENTER, at ZERO_ROTATION. Moving the attachment's root or changing the attachment point will not affect the reported rotation. Avatar animation is invisible to the simulator, so it also does not affect the reported rotation.
