Problems with dog prim movement

Hi, a friend and I are trying to make some kind of dog in second life and we are having problems with the physics. We are using a script that controls the physics and another that controls te AI. The problem is that if we make the dog physical we don't know how to rotate it and if it collides with something it starts spinning crazily. In the other hand, if set it non-physical the delay from llSetPos and llSetRot make it move in a weird way.

Can someone help us?

Thanks.

bump to help?

Give physics a try again. You can disable the x+y rotation by seting it to false in a llSetStatus if i remember right. Or add a method that checks if your dog is within a specific rotation and holds these.

@#2 ? óô

You can also do the equivalent of a llSetPos() and llSetRot() at the same time using llSetPrimitiveParams(). It still might be jerk though, and be warned that, while you CAN use hacks to get around script delay, it can be pretty costly in terms of sim and client lag. That means if you CAN either live with the jerky motion or get away with a physical solution, it is probably better to do so.

Hi everyone and thanks for the replies.

We managed to eliminate the spinning in the x and y axis using the llSetStatus function and a physic dog, but now we have the problem that we don't know how to rotate it properly. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.
