I'm using a very basic script I found to cause part of an object to look at the nearest avatar. However, I can't seem to get it to only work within a specific range. Can anyone help me spot where in this script I'd have to set that, or if I'd have to use something different?

CODE

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSensorRepeat("", "", AGENT, 20.0, PI, 0.2);
    }
 
    sensor(integer total_number)
    {
        llLookAt( llDetectedPos(0) + <0.0, 0.0, 1.0>, 3.0, 1.0 );
    }
}

Between "AGENT," and "PI," is the distance of the sensor repeat.

It is set to 20.0 meters currently, a sensor can have a maximum distance of 96.0m. So you set it between 0 and 96 as you please.

Thanks much.

Now I'm getting tricky... Anyone know how to make this type of thing work on a physical object?
Or, I should say, while linked to a physical object? I've got a base prim that moves around randomly. I'd like to link this prim to it, so that it seems like a "camera" on the moving object is turning to look at anyone it passes.

be aware that sensor repeat has a bug which picks up out of range objects every few cycles.
