Stay on the floor!!!

Hi there!

I've done a follower object... a simple script, that use sensor to find owner each 60 seconds (i dont need that object follow the owner in realtime).

Its all ok but... how I can put this object on the floor? I cant understand how to calculate right z coordinates. I've tried using owner heigth, object (linked prims) bounding box, a combination of all that... well, I cant understand, really.


Thanks to all!

Hve you looked at llGround()?

I suspect it may be what you want.

llGround won't work if he is standing on a platform. Better to have the follower subtract half your height from your current z coordinate and use that for its z position. Something like the following:

sensor(integer num) {
  vector position = llDetectedPos(0);
  vector size = llGetAgentSize(llDetectedKey(0));
  llSetPos(position + <1.0, 0, -(size.z / 2)>);
}

That is untested code but it should put the follower one meter north of your position at the same level as your feet.

I've tried using half avatar height, but the object float... I've tried also using half height of avatar and object height... nothing...
I cant understand...

Are you perhaps using llSetHoverHeight() somewhere?

use this:

AVposition.z - (.5 * llGetAgentSize.z) + (.5 * Objectheight.z)
that should get you there.

note: psudocode will not even come close to compiling

oh and this doesn't take into account animations or anything so won't work on tinies etc.
