Prim Stopped Moving

[naughtyniece]

Hi,

I have a prim, it is physical and  I drop it and it rolls around then stops. At that point i need the script to run, how do i detect when the prim has stopped moving?

thank you

You'll want to use the event, moving_end

You may need both moving_start and moving_end events, in case you want to detect that it actually moved, then stopped moving. Others may give you a different answer.

Yeah, friction is a bear.

You could try a moving_end event, I suppose.  That's sometimes reliable, especially if you aren't too picky about what "end": means.

EDIT: Man, you guys are pretty fast for a Friday afternoon.

As a test, put moving_end event in your script and have it say something when the event runs.

I was also going to suggest she may end up needing a timer and a flag to make sure it stopped moving “long enough”. Just because the event fires won’t necessary mean it’s totally done, right?

haven't played with these for a while...

vector ac;
   if(llVecMag(ac = llGetAccel()) < .001)
 {  llMoveToTarget(llGetPos(), .1) //stopping ?}

vector spd;

 if (llVecMag(spd = llGetVel()) < .001)
 {  llMoveToTarget(llGetPos(), .1) //stopping ?}
