Something to break the 5 fps limit on using llSetPrimitiveParams when you're twisting one prim to imitate a neck. This is a proposed enhancement:
llAnimTwist(vector twist, float strength, float damping)
Like llRotLookAt, but will perform a twist of the prim from it's current twist over damping seconds. The animiation of the twisting is performed client-side.
For example, contrast how it would need to be done to imitate the neck movement over two seconds. Currently:
for(i=0;i<10;i++) { llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE, ... twiststep, ...]); }
Now: llAnimTwist(desttwist, mass/2, 2);
Of course, for completeness we will need a llAnimStopTwist to compliment, like llStop...()

Couldn't you do this by using linked messages and multiple scripts to overcome the script delays?

No. I belive the llSet...() is server-side, therefore over a span of the rotation I'm sending out 5 llSet...() packets per second to the client. llAnimTwist would imitate llRotLookAt in that reguard. I want to be bandwith and server friendly, as much as possible. Besides, I'm only twisting one prim for a neck (a cylinder). The head is a seperate object, which I'll have to ether rotate the root prim or find out why I can't attach a jointed object. |

You can get over the 5fps. I'm doing this now. I have a simple texture with a cursor on it and two scripts controlling the same Face of the prims. One script updates on every even and the other one every odd button press. So the faster the more scripts and more lag.
