still having issues and I can't understand why, anyone out there have any ideas ?

I'll give that a shot is it functionally different then llSetKeyframedMotion([],[KFM_COMMAND, KFM_CMD_STOP]); ? hmmm I seem to be getting the same results

I am attempting to move an object from one waypoint to another, I want the object to rotate so that it's facing the next waypoint then move forward to the waypoint, rotate to face the next then move and so on, but the object will occasionally fail to face the new position andd move backwards etc. Next() { if (special==0 & on==TRUE) { index++; if (index >= llGetListLength(targets)) { index=0; } special = llList2Integer(specials,index); target = llList2Vector(targets,index); float dist=llVecDist(target,llGetPos()); integer speed2=llList2Integer(speeds,index)+1; llSetTimerEvent( (7-speed2)*.1 ); vector pos = llGetPos(); rotation rot = llRotBetween( <1.0,0.0,0.0>, llVecNorm( <target.x,target.y,pos.z> - pos )); llSetKeyframedMotion([],[KFM_COMMAND, KFM_CMD_STOP]); llSetKeyframedMotion( [<0,0,0>,NormRot(rot/llGetRot()),.2,(target - pos)*rot,ZERO_ROTATION, dist*2/(speed2+1)], []); rotation NormRot(rotation Q) { float MagQ = llSqrt(Q.x*Q.x + Q.y*Q.y +Q.z*Q.z + Q.s*Q.s); return <Q.x/MagQ, Q.y/MagQ, Q.z/MagQ, Q.s/MagQ>; } } }

thank you.. I'm an idiot when I'm not moonlighting here, laughs I saw that right AFTER submitting, thanks it's exactly what I need

I'm trying to make a rezzer that allows the owner to rez a "helper" object, move & rotate it then when clicked it passes it's position and rotation to the rezzer setting the pos & rot for the actual items rezzed (jetskis) I would like this to be relative to the rezzer regardless of the rezzers rotation & position, this "almost" works, lol HELPER code integer channel; default { state_entry() { llOwnerSay("move me around & rotate me using the editor"); llOwnerSay("Click to save my rotation & position"); } touch_start(integer total_number) { llSay(channel, (string)llGetPos()+"?"+(string)llGetRot()); llSleep(.5); llDie(); } on_rez(integer value) { channel=value; } } REZZER code integer channel; vector pos; rotation rot; integer l; rezzit(string name) { list temp=llParseString2List(llGetObjectDesc( ), ["?"], [] ); pos=(vector)llList2String(temp,0); rot=(rotation)llList2String(temp,1); llRezObject( name, llGetPos()+pos*llGetRot(), ZERO_VECTOR, rot*llGetRot(), channel ); } default { state_entry() { channel=-1 - (integer)("0x" + llGetSubString( (string)llGetKey(), -7, -1) ); } touch_start(integer total_number) { key id=llDetectedKey(0); if (id==llGetOwner()) { rezzit("HELPER"); l=llListen(channel,"","",""); } else { rezzit("MC Jet Ski"); } } listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) { list temp=llParseString2List(message, ["?"], [] ); pos=(vector)llList2String(temp,0)-llGetPos(); rot=(rotation)llList2String(temp,1)/llGetRot(); llSetObjectDesc( (string)pos+"?"+(string)rot ); llOwnerSay( (string)pos+"?"+(string)rot ); } }

thanks, being chewed on by a shark is bad enough being impaled is horrible, laughs

I tried that, adding this did the trick tho llSetVelocity( <0,0,0>, FALSE ); thanks for putting me on the right track, you're great as always

It seems that the object continues to "coast" along afterwards, when I remove the target I trigger an animation(hiding, showing certain surfaces on the objects mesh and releasing particles..this appears to occur at 2.75 meters which is the distance I decided on so that the object just touches the target object ie. offsetting centers so the edges meet, but the object in motion continues on and punches into the target...any ideas ?

I tend to get turned around any time rotations come into play I'm using the following code to point an objects x axis towards a target position and moving it to it via llMoveToTarget and it works just fine however I want it to actually stop .5 meters short of the actual target, can anybody point me in the right direction laughs... Next() { index++; if (index >= llGetListLength(targets)) { index=0; } target = llList2Vector(targets,index); mytarget = llTarget( target, .3 ); float dist=llVecDist(target,llGetPos()); integer speed2=6 - llList2Integer(speeds,index); llMoveToTarget( target, speed2*(dist/4)); vector pos = llGetPos(); llRotLookAt( llRotBetween( <1.0,0.0,0.0>, llVecNorm( <target.x,target.y,pos.z> - pos ) ), 1.0, .2); } }

Thanks..had thought of that shortly after posting but was hoping it could be done via llAnimateTexture..that will do it tho, thanks again

I have used texture animation in the past but always looped the animation, I would like to scroll the texture across the prim once this repeats over and over again even without LOOP llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | SMOOTH , ALL_SIDES, 1, 1, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

Thanks, I appreciate it..everything is working great now, it's a small piece of a larger project but rotations throw me from time to time..thanks again

I am using a modified version Glen larsen's looprez script to generate circular linksets, the code below works beautifully , creating a ring of prims around the world z axis of object the script is in, what I would like to do is have them rezzed around the objects local axis...rotate the object 45 degrees on say the x axis and when it rezzes the prims, the resulting loop is also rotated 45 degrees on the x... //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // LoopRez v0.61, by Ged Larsen, 2 February 2007 // // - rez a number of objects in an ellipse, whose size is determined by xRadius and yRadius // - all facing "outwards", along a tangent to the ellipse // - can set how much the objects flare outwards // - properly handles object rotation corrections (for example, X-axis 180 degree rotation helps for flexi-prim skirts) // - can also get a 'saddle' bend, to generate a bend that might help for necklaces (from Ariane Brodie) // // - (the only difference between v0.6, previously released, and v0.61 is changing some integers to floats, and consolidating some vector math // // To use: // 1) create a prim that will contain this script and the object to use // 2) put the script into the prim // 3) create an object that will be used, and name it "Object" // 4) put "Object" into the prim containing the script, by dragging it from your inventory // 5) get out of Edit Mode, and touch the prim // // Random note: // - this version does NOT insure equal spacing of objects along the perimeter of the ellipse // - i.e., objects "bunch up" at the long ends of an ellipse; the effect should be acceptable for non-extreme ellipses // - even spacing of objects can be accomplished, but requires simulation of integral calculus, which slows down the script // // References: // - tangent formulas from: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Ellipse.html // // I don't know all those fancy legal terms, but bottom line is that you can do whatever // you want with this script.

I'm looking for a way to send a request from one prim to another in a differnt region, the 2nd prim owned by me would then send an item NOT full perm to the avatar specified in the message..ie a device I sell which is owned by the buyer requests the item be sent from the second prim located in another region, like a networked vendor but nothing so complex, dedicated to serving a single boxed product, I'm familiar with using email to do this but the server may have to be moved at some point in the future so it's email address which would be hard coded is subject to change, is there a way using http to do this ?

I am using llTakeControls(CONTROL_FWD | CONTROL_BACK | CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT | CONTROL_ROT_LEFT | CONTROL_UP | CONTROL_DOWN | CONTROL_RIGHT | CONTROL_LEFT, TRUE, FALSE); to take control of the arrow keys & page up/down to change the avatars sit position but even though pass is set to false the camera responds to the events, I have seen furniture that used the controls to reposition that didn't change the cam settings..any ideas ?

I don't think this is possible from what I have been able to gather, I have an object which forces the cam to focus on a certain position when an avi sits on it but they can still pan & rotate the camera via the camera controls, is there anyway to prevent them from changing the camera's view using the camera controls ?

I reluctantly began phasing out my magic boxes and had the bulk proxy delete fail 8 out of 10 times but spent hours deleting my unassociated inventory only to have it all show up again when I logged back in, supposedly I now have 432 unassociated items HELP?

does anybody have any ideas as far as compressing the size of vectors used for storing large number of poseball offsets. I am considering converting the vector elements to signed bytes in a single integer, this would yeild a range of -127 to 127 and by multiplying by .01 yeild values between -1.27 and 1.27 or almost 4 feet in all directions which seems like it would be sufficient if you were careful creating your animations...any thoughts ?

I have made a coral head and am trying to get a linked prim to follow a predefined path, pointing it's neg y axis towards the next waypoint, this chunk of code worked for a physical, non-linked version but the rotations aren't working properly, I assume I have to offset the recorded local rots by the root prims rotation but haven't been able to make it work... both target & pos are local positions llRotLookAt( llRotBetween( <0.0,-1.0,0.0>, llVecNorm( <target.x,target.y,pos.z> - pos)) , 1.0, .4);

Does anyone know if the 10/01/2012 date for magic box still holds, the official Linden Lab page hasn't been updated since July, also have the numerous issues associated with DD been addressed ? I currently have over 700 items listed and am about to begin transitioning to DD if I have to that is, if there is anyone out there who has switched over a large number of items who would like to throw in their 2 bits, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

actually I have had my ISP check the connection, my packet loss is 0%, ping is well under 250ms, and received an A rating at Pingtest.net, and all other internet apps, browser etc. are not reporting any errors whatsoever and this has been a recurrent problem for the last 3 weeks, literally occuring everytime I try to upload an asset or save a script, sometimes 6 to 8 times before successfully uploading/saving

"unexpected server error" hardly unexpected when it happens several times ever time you try to save a script, upload any kind of asset be it an animation, image etc., this has been going on for several days now along with friends list coming up blank, no groups etc. and I'm not the only one experiencing it...maybe less time should be spent breaking existing products so a handful of newbs unwilling to learn how to use their inventory can find there new shoes and a little more time spent fixing the large number of serious problems out there

Thanks, that's the conclusion I had reached as well, I'm up to the task but don't know if I want to bother, I would prefer not to utilize out of world resources that may be here today gone tomorrow if I should move on from sl, thereby breaking the product.

Exactly, something I was trying to avoid as I would prefer a modification of my existing vendors rather than a complete rewrite and hoped there was another way of dealing with it I had overlooked

Actually, you can still access the contents pane and drag the boxed items into inventory.. it removes the no copy item from the vendor and drops it into your inventory.. an oversight on LL's part I feel.. if it's no mod then you shouldn't even be able to see the inventory in my opinion
