What is the best way to script eyes that follow an AV as they move?
I decided I want to start making animals and monsters, and for my first project I want to make a Beholder. I figure it'll be the easiest thing to learn on as it's just a ball with a mouth, an eye, and some eyestalks. However, I also want it to DO stuff.
I know I've seen eyes that follow you at a shop before, but can't remember where or what sim it was on.
Do you script them to scan for AVs, get their positions, and then change the texture? or is there an easier way?

Then check out these functions: http://rpgstats.com/wiki/index.php?title=LlLookAt http://rpgstats.com/wiki/index.php?title=LlRotLookAt They can be used to rotate your eyeball to point at a given target (which can be got with a sensor scan, and converted to a rotation, as in the examples above). |
