CODE

move_up (float distance, integer step )
{
        float step_distance = distance / (float)steps;
        vector offset = <0.0, 0.0, step_distance>;
        vector base_pos = llGetPos();
        intiger i;
        for(i = 0; i <= steps; ++i);
        {
                llSetPos(base_pos + i * offset);
                llSleep(0.1);
        }
}

default
{
        state_entry()
        {
                llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
        }
        
        touch_start(integer total_number)
        {
                llSay(0, "J.M.");
        }
        touch_end(integer total_number)        
        {
        llSay(0, "test");
