flow dilema help required

[VirtualKitten]

I have some code which is rough and want to improve it it basically moves a mesh in a circle using llSetjump to startLinkParamsFast( 

I have this in a script which uses basic loop http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Jump

@start

... Move item

llSleep(1)

jump to start

@end

Now I am using llSetScriptState( to stop and start this but it is fraught with problems that i will not go into here.

My question is how to make this into one script with my other code . The problem is house-keeping and there is not much time-slice afforded to llListen or MessageLink events. How then do i properly script movement in LSL script .As i think i am missing something vital

Thanks for looking D

I think a timer might help here:

timer ()
{
    //move object
}

To start the timer, and start moving the object:

llSetTimerEvent (1.0);

and to stop the timer, and stop moving the object:

llSetTimerEvent (0.0);

KT Kingsley is correct, but you will also have to remove anything that puts the script to sleep if you want a regular timing.

Yes, and remove the stuff that has to do with jump too.  It might be a good idea to step back and go through a basic LSL tutorial to familiarize yourself with the state/event structure that is the foundation of LSL, then take a special look at how a timer event works.
