I was wondering if there is available code out there that realizes the following
- entirely physics based movement
- Moving from current position to <Vector> either via input or obtained from sensor
- object is floating and movement is realized via force impulses. Meaning it slowly speeds up to a terminal velocity then starts breaking when getting close
- object faces destination with llTargetOmega for smooth movements.
Any hints or tips would be appreciated. I found something similar years ago on the board but those articles are gone.

I can't imagine target omega being precise enough to get a correct facing, try the ll*LookAt functions instead, similarly llTarget will get you tracking whether you're at your destination or not, and either llMoveToTarget or that in combination with a starting llApplyImpulse or llSetForce for actually getting there... don't forget the related llStop* functions.

Thank You for the help Void!
Does anyone remember this proof of concept code from way back, or any other codesnipplets that are going into that direction? |

/me suggests voting for SVC-1479.
New llFunction: like llMoveToTarget but with more damping control Currently llMoveToTarget has two parameters, the destination vector and the time to reach the target. However the current llMoveToTarget slows down towards the end of its movement phase which makes it wholly unsuitable for projectiles (simple cases where you just want an effect, not an actual weapon). I propose a third parameter which controls the rate of acceleration and deceleration (optionally a fourth parameter so the first controls acceleration, and the second controls deceleration) so that the object slows down less or not at all at a 0 setting. This would have the effect of sharper acceleration/deceleration, to the point of instant acceleration, constant speed during travel, and then instant deceleration to a stop at the destination. Though the description is mostly based around weapons, it'd be useful in many areas.. Vote at: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1479 _____________________
