well fo rthe past few days i've been working on and off on a satellite of mine but i've run across a few problems, most of which are fixed at this point, but the problem i need help with is that it refuses to go into the uplink state

the script is failry inefficent but fits my needs, for some reason even if i put the probe next to the satellite after the time goes off the satellite just keeps on its roaming path and wont go into uplink mode

all help appreciated

edit:edit: that should fix the un-needed variables


CODE

integer target;
vector destination;
float div_op;
float x;
float y;
float z;
float zz;
float yy;
float xx;

function_find()
{
    x=llFrand(60);
    y=llFrand(60);
    z=llFrand(15);
    zz=-llFrand(15);
    yy=-llFrand(60);
    xx=-llFrand(60);
    destination=llGetPos()+<(xx+x),(yy+y),(zz+z)>;
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Satellite searching for target, please wait.");
        state roaming;
    }
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }

}

state roaming
{
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_X, 0);
        llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_Y,0);
        llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
        llSetTimerEvent(30);
        llSetBuoyancy(0.95);
        function_find();
        if (destination.x <240&&destination.x>0&&destination.y<240&&destination.y>0&&destination.z>30&&destination.z<100)
        {
            target=llTarget(destination,10);
            div_op=(llVecDist(llGetPos(),destination));
            llOwnerSay((string)div_op);
            llMoveToTarget(destination,div_op);
        }

Does this work?

CODE

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSensorRepeat("Probe", NULL_KEY, 4, 70, PI, 1);
    }

    sensor(integer num_detected)
    {
        llOwnerSay("sensed!");
    }   
        
}

One possibility is that the script is performing lots of state changes. Because of the way it is set up, the script changes state every time that the new destination is out of bounds.

From the wiki:

CODE
When a state changes, all pending events are cleared, and all events that require setup (via a function) are defaulted (disabled).


So, if we happen to get a state change before the sensor event is fired, then it gets lost.

My first recommendation would be to eliminate the state changes between the default state and roaming. The default state really doesn't do anything, so I'd just make roaming the default state.

Then, modify function_find() so that it will only return a destination that is in bounds. This will allow you to remove all of the if/then tests.

I'm not confident that this will fix the problem, but it will probably bring you closer to a solution.

That's my best guess anyway.

edit:edit: that should fix the un-needed variables
CODE


float x;
float y;
float z;
float zz;
float yy;
float xx;

function_find()
{
    x=llFrand(60);
    y=llFrand(60);
    z=llFrand(15);
    zz=-llFrand(15);
    yy=-llFrand(60);
    xx=-llFrand(60);
    destination=llGetPos()+<(xx+x),(yy+y),(zz+z)>;
}



might help you clean things up abit you can use vectors and do the same thing

CODE

vector one;
vector two;

function_find 
{
    one.x = llFrand(60);
    one.y = llFrand(60);
    one.z = llFrand(15);

    two.x = llFrand(15);
    two.y = llFrand(60);
    tow.z = llFrand(60);

    destination=llGetPos()+<(two.x+one.x),(two.y+one.y),(two.z+one.z)>; 
}
