Move along Vector

[2toe Bigboots]

I have found a script that is suposed to move object along recorded path can someone tell my why i can make it work. Its straight forword to record but i cant figure out how to start movment

        if(index < 0)
            return source;
        source = llInsertString(llDeleteSubString(source, index, (index + llStringLength(pattern) - 1)), index, replace);
    }
    return source;
}

    if(c == TRUE)
        return t;
    else
        return f;
}

    integer wpcount = llGetListLength(waypoints) >> 1;

You can't, with that script.  It does exactly what it says... //DESCRIPTION:  Way point recording.  If you want to have an object follow the waypoints, you'll have to write a script to do it.  Make your object physical and use llMoveToTarget to aim your object at each of the waypoints in succession.  If you've never tried this, it will be a pain at first, especially if you want the object to rotate so that it points along the path all the time.  Fun, though.  :smileyhappy:

How smooth does something like this move to target location? 

[Darkie Minotaur]

llMoveToTarget gives you a fairly smooth movement - play with it a bit.

[2toe Bigboots]

Ya gonna have to i did just now a little bit its close enough. I do wonder if theres a way to make the movement randome but stay with in a radius

[Darkie Minotaur]

Of course it is - it's just a bit of math. Without having really done it before, I think there are several ways in which you can do it. But if you ave a center, a radius around it and a random point, you can tell if the llVecDist <= radius

I need some help making the a object wonder my land randomly kinda like its bord and just strolling around. 

im attempting llMoveToTarget but havent gotten verry far
