I need to make my UFO raise and lower as it sits and rotates

Sit and rotate is easy, I have a "captive" UFO ina glass tube that I want to slowly rise and fall vertically in. (They are in the towers on POP land @ VERONA- i f some one needs a visual reference.)

they currently rotate well but the up/down hasn't worked to well for me yet. Im betting this a simple script, yet Im a dunce.

Thanks ahead of time.

Not a good bet... lol, there's several ways to do this, depending on weather the object is physical or not. If it's not physical, you can use llSetPos(), generally in a loop with a delay (llSleep()), so that the movement isn't too fast. If the object is Physical, there's a couple of different ways it can be done, using the llTarget() and llMoveToTarget() functions, and the at_target() and not_at_target() events to set waypoints (llTarget()), and move the object to the waypoints (llMoveToTarget()), and the events to trap when the object reaches the destination waypoints. Hope that helps

I have made a raise and lower script which you are welcome to have a copy of. Contact me in world.

Rock

vector vA = llGetPos(); // Use current position as base position for the hovering.
float radians = 0.0;
float deltaheight = 0.5;


and in a timer event you have:

radians += 0.05;
if (radians > TWO_PI) {radians -= TWO_PI;};
llSetPos(vA + <0,0,llSin(radians)* deltaHeight>;


And there it is. Your object "floating" or "hovering" up and down along a sinus path. As choppy or as smooth as timers will allow.
