llMovetoTarget from sensor

how can i get an object to move to another object detected by llSensor and a sensor event (ie, get the vector of the detected object and use llMoveToTarget). I cannot have a dialog between the two objects telling the other its position because I do own tand can't modify the detected object.

ill post some code:

state_entry()
    {
        llSensorRepeat( "", "", SCRIPTED, range, TWO_PI, rate );
    }
    
    sensor(integer number_detected)
    {
        if ( llDetectedGroup(0) == "" && llDetectedType == SCRIPTED )
        {
            //llMoveToTarget(
            state move;
        }
    }

also, not sure if lldetectedgroup will return a name, or just true or false.

also, i could use llSetpos, if it would be easier, the object doesn't have to be physical.

nvm, lldetectedpos, duh! sorry guys

Here you go:

state_entry()
    {
        llSensorRepeat( "", "", SCRIPTED, range, TWO_PI, rate );
    }
    
    sensor(integer number_detected)
    { // llDetectedType is a little unnecessary since you're only scanning for SCRIPTED
        if ( llDetectedGroup(0) == "")
        {
            llMoveToTarget(llDetectedPos(0),0.3);
            // If you want it to move in the general direction instead, try this:
            // float speed = 5;
            // llMoveToTarget(llGetPos() + (speed * llVecNorm(llDetectedPos(0) - llGetPos())),0.3);
            state move;
        }
    }

ok, thanks alot jeff. again.

will this work? llGetPos only works on non-physical objects, and llmovetotarget on physical.... I think?

You're thinking llSetPos. llGetPos works just fine regardless of physics.
