i want to make a primmy object follow a distinct path, making two turns instead of a going in a straight line. a start, a stop and then return - repeat. i suspect it would need to use coordinates, but i have no idea what sort of script i need to track down or what key words to use to research this forum. anything i've tried so far has returned no favorable thread.

is this even possible? thank you in advance.

it's entirely possible, you want to research llTarget() and llMoveToTarget() to accomplish what you're trying to do. It involves the object being physical, hence, 31 prims or less.

keywords: follow Path

PS ever look at a word and think "what a strange spelling" even when you know it's right... follow is doing that for me now

Wen i wrote my last book it was 400 pages from various seminars i have done in rl.
And " WHEN " had me looking at google and my spell checker for over 20 mins convinced it was wrong. That is wen you need to stop reading or writing.

If you contact me in world i have a script set we had made for film making you can have.
it does not stop, but it follows a set path.

funny I once did that with 'that' and 'then' but it's good to know that I'm not the only one =)
