I'm trying to figure out how to have an object apear to "hover" (fluctuate smoothly from lower to higher) but for some reason this script i wrote does not work. it simply just increases height slowly... why? Is there an alternative to this? I would like to have it smooth rather than instantaneous changes; that destroys the "hover" effect. From: someone
default
{
state_entry()
{
state buoyup;
}
}
state buoyup
{
state_entry()
{
llSetBuoyancy(1.1);
llSetTimerEvent(1);
}
timer()
{
llSetTimerEvent(0);
state buoydown;
}
}
state buoydown
{
state_entry()
{
llSetBuoyancy(.9);
llSetTimerEvent(1);
}
timer()
{
llSetTimerEvent(0);
state buoyup;
}
}

Try llMoveToTarget maybe. No idea why this didn't work... someone who knows more about the physics engine in SL may have an idea.

Hmm. Might try setting the buoyancy to 1.0, then using small llApplyImpulse vectors to nudge it up and down on the z axis.

wouldn't apply impulse make a very jumpy looking hover?

Well, I suppose it depends on how big an impulse you use.  If you are looking for a smooth accelerate/decelerate effect, you'll probably have to play around with llMoveToTarget or llSetForce. llMoveToTarget will be probably the least lag-sensitive. |

What you posted does work Aniam. You can also save a little sim overhead if you try it like this:
integer up = TRUE;
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
}
timer()
{
if(up)//this reads as: if(up == TRUE)
{
llSetBuoyancy(1.1);
up = FALSE;
}
else
{
llSetBuoyancy(0.9);
up = TRUE;
}
}
}

Am getting some flunctuations thou. Sometimes it will go up,down,up,down. Other times up,up,up,up and another time up,up,down,down. And this is in Aditi Havoc 1. Would imagine it could be much worse at times in MG.
If you take and nudge it sideways a little by hand then it does what you want and seems pretty smooth.
