Smooth prim/object movement

Hi,

I want to move a prim or object over a short distance (e.g. 0.5 meter) in about 5 seconds, and then back in about 3 seconds.

Moving via llSetPos or llSetPrimitiveParams is too quick. I tried sending 20 new positions in one llSetPrimitiveParams but it's executed as 1 change. If I loop it and send 20 separate positions in 20 llSetPrimitiveParams or llSetPos calls, it's not smooth since every call delays the script by .2 seconds.

Is this something that cannot be done without the jerkyness of the .2 sec. delay, or am I overlooking something obvious?

Try using llMoveToTarget(vector target, float tau)

I have looked at llMoveToTarget but it requires my object to be physical and unfortunately since my object isn't perfectly balanced that kinda fails

Is there any other way to move a non-physical object smoothly?

If you go to this link, there is code posted showing how to overcome the .2 second llSetPos issue, using multiple scripts. You may be able to adapt this technique to your purpose.
