Help With Move To Target Please???

Hi I've made a gadget that I use to bring my friends to me, however because I'm using move to target, I can't bring any friends that are more than 64m away from me. Someone said that if I normalise the distance or something then it will work for greater distances. This bit is beyond my scope. Does anyone know how to do this please???

Here is my script as it stands:

key aquiredFollowTarget = NULL_KEY;
integer ztarget;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, 0, "MSGStopFollowing", aquiredFollowTarget);
aquiredFollowTarget = NULL_KEY;
llResetOtherScript("Friend Chooser";
llSetDamage(100);
llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_X | STATUS_ROTATE_Y | STATUS_ROTATE_Z, FALSE);
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHANTOM, FALSE);
llSleep(2.0);
llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_X | STATUS_ROTATE_Y | STATUS_ROTATE_Z, FALSE);
llStopSound();
//llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
llTriggerSound("4894f16d-6a0f-7799-e841-e3c0a179da8e", 1.0);
llSensor("", llGetOwner(), AGENT, 128, TWO_PI);
}

sensor(integer total_number)
{
ztarget = llTarget(llDetectedPos(0), 3.5);
llMoveToTarget(llDetectedPos(0), 1.0);
}

at_target(integer number, vector targetpos, vector ourpos)
{
state stop;
}
}

state stop
{
state_entry()
{
llTargetRemove(ztarget);
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, FALSE);
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHANTOM, TRUE);
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, 0, "MSGStopFollowing", aquiredFollowTarget);
aquiredFollowTarget = NULL_KEY;
llSetScriptState("Scanner 2222", FALSE);
llSetScriptState("Scanner 1", TRUE);
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, 0, "MSGStopFollowing", aquiredFollowTarget);
aquiredFollowTarget = NULL_KEY;
llSay(0,"Hello...";
llResetOtherScript("Stop";
}
}

If i remember right you have to use llSetTarget and llRemoveTarget *as well* for this to work right...

If you take a look at http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llMoveToTarget you will find a nifty work-round for the (approx) 60 metre cap on llMoveToTarget.

The looped llPushObject call workaround has not been functioning for me since the 1.24.10.106829 server update.
I don't move at all and my script gets locked in the loop, now.

I feel stupid for that one, was a misplaced semicolon...

The loop still works, though I suggest using apply impulse over push object if you can.

Anyway, I've noticed llMoveToTarget has a *very* large amount of trouble attempting to move through objects while traveling on the Z Axis.

Careful of that one - I've been trying to find a repair for the problem to no avail.

EDIT: This is ofcourse a problem only for Avatar Attachments, not objects that can be phantomed.

You can combine llMoveToTarget with non-physical movement with a bit of coordination. I havea floater toy I've been developing and if it gets stuck I just trigger a command that runs it through Strife's warp position code.

Yeah, though that doesn't work when using MoveToTarget on an Avatar, would need some complex extra pushes or something.
(Still haven't solved the Z Axis + Object = Stuck issue, heh.)

I'm not sure if Bio is moving the Avatar directly, but it seems to be.
