I am attempting to make an attachment that would rotate the avatar to be facing a specified position (at least on the z axis of a rotation). I've looked through the functions, but I cannot find anything that would be able to do this. Is there something I'm missing, or would I have to use an object for the avatar to sit on or ride?

The answer is yes, but mostly no.
I dealt with this when making a the hug attachment that was popularized after 1.4 came out.
The language is expressive enough (llLookAt, llRotLookAt, llPointAt), but the LSL API's to dealing with rotations are completely broken when operating as an attachment. Maybe if you bug report them too, it'll increase the priority in the bugfix queue.

offhand, I know you can apply a rotational impulse to an avatar to spin them on an axis. However I'm not versed well enough with it to point an avatar at a specific direction or to account for gravity related surface friction.

llPushObject() has a rotational spin setting (measured in a euler rotation).  It would be mildly difficult, but it is possible. Wait: This is for an attachment, if so - you can just use the normal set of tools for dealing with a physical object and rotating it's root. -Adam |
