Hi everyone I wonder if you could help I came across this delighful page which i though might solve all of my problems http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Wanderer only to implement a version of :
 

vector nextCoordinates(integer TYPE) {
    float driftRange = llFrand(MOVEMENT_RANGE);
    float a = llFrand(TWO_PI);
    float b = llFrand(TWO_PI);
    float c = llFrand(PI);
    if(TYPE == 2) return <iPos.x + driftRange, iPos.y + llFrand(MOVEMENT_RANGE), iPos.z>;
    if(TYPE == 4) return <iPos.x + driftRange * llCos(a), iPos.y + driftRange * llSin(b), iPos.z>;
    if(TYPE == 8) return iPos + <driftRange * llCos(a) * llCos(b), driftRange * llCos(a) * llSin(b), driftRange * llSin(a)>;
    if(TYPE == 16) return iPos + <driftRange * llCos(a) * llCos(b), driftRange * llCos(a) * llSin(b), driftRange * llSin(c)>;
    if(TYPE == 32) return iPos + <driftRange * llCos(a) * llCos(b), driftRange * llCos(a) * llSin(b), -driftRange * llSin(c)>;
    if(TYPE == 64) return iPos + <driftRange * llCos(a) * llCos(b), llFrand(MOVEMENT_RANGE) * llCos(a) * llSin(b), driftRange * llSin(a)>;
    if(TYPE == 128) return iPos + <driftRange * llCos(a) * llCos(b), llFrand(MOVEMENT_RANGE) * llCos(a) * llSin(b), driftRange * llSin(c)>;
    if(TYPE == 256) return iPos + <driftRange * llCos(a) * llCos(b), llFrand(MOVEMENT_RANGE) * llCos(a) * llSin(b), -driftRange * llSin(c)>;
    return iPos;
}

Does anyone have a neater solution please like llWanderWithin( uses?

 

Thanks for looking Denise

given that nextCoordinates is a lookup for different math calculations then the way this code is written is the most efficient. Is not elegant but it is efficient

This is what it does really slowely
