I know your gonna ask "why is someone who has been here so long asking such a newbish question?". I guess we all need a little help from time to time.

I'm trying to build a Rezzer for a MoonGate I'm creating. It's HUD based and designed to rez the Portal directly in front of you no matter which direction your facing. So far it works, but with 1 small problem. I'd like for it to rez the object a bit further away then it does. So far this is what i got. It rezzes perfectly except it's too close to me. The portal is about 10 meters in size so it needs to be further away. :P i just don't know what i need to do for that.

touch_start(integer number)
{
vector vel;
vector pos;
rotation rot;
rot = llGetRot();
vel = llRot2Fwd(rot);
pos = llGetPos();
pos = pos + vel;
vel = vel;
llRezObject("Object", pos, vel, rot, 0);
}

So far i tried adding "+ <X,Y,Z>" after "pos" in llRezObject, but it doesn't give the results i need. It rezzes it in the distance but not exactly in front of me as i intended.

Well, in principle this seems to work for me:

default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llRezObject("Object", llGetPos() + (llRot2Fwd(llGetRot())*4), ZERO_VECTOR, llGetRot(), 0);
}
}

...which doesn't look so very different to what you started with. Increasing the multiplier moves the cube further forwards.

I've also only done this with standard cubes :)

CODE
// "temp3.esl"
// "Feb  9 2008", "18:20:30"

string object;

default {
	state_entry() {
		object = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, 0);
	}
	touch_start(integer n) {
		llRezObject(object, llGetPos() + (<10, 0, 0 > *llGetRot()), ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 0);
	}
}
