What i mean by "Stationary Movement." is Makeing it possible to stay and walk on a ship or other moveing Objects. I dont like it when i try to stand on a moveing vehicle and get thrown through the ship. if its possible can you please try to. expecialy to my last post about the "Water"







Thank you

As for standing on the vehicle, do you care more about the movement or looking cool? For the latter, you can just sit on an attached prim and have a script play a standing animation. You won't be able to move, but it looks nice.

Well, with the way the Havok engine is now, there is no easy way to do that in SL. I think that with a clever scripted attachment it could be done. Such as a tether of sorts, to freeze the avatar to the vehicle. Or you could sit on a walking prim that used something similar to llSetPos() (or the way to do this within a linked set for only one prim. Gotta see wiki) to move you in small steps.

Wait, this could be the massive 13 hour long shift I just got off of where all my co-workers abandoned me to try and deal with a 1400+ unit shipment but... I vaguely recall that I did indeed move along with moving objects when standing on them with no special seating or what not.

I could be wrong though.

If you can't move the ship, move the universe around the ship. ;)

the sit moving might be interesting. Kind of a switch sitting positions with out standing. hmm

No I've done it too, on a rickety airship, but it's real shaky. You fall through the floor and/or get booted a lot if you try to walk too much.

I think the way to do it is to have another, non-physics object inside the vehicle, to act as a "floor"
...but I could be wrong.

It would be REALLY DAMN COOL if you could do this easily though.
