I know who to rotate an object to "face" a given point - but what is the best way of getting it point at an avatar.
How can i easily work out an avatar's position ?

From: Ynot Fenua How can i easily work out an avatar's position ? If the target avatar is an agent returned by a sensor, or if it helpfully touched the scripted object, then llDetectedPos() would work. (But I'm not entirely sure this is the question.) |

Yes - of course it is - so i think I can do this...
One I know the name of the Avatar to point at .....
1) Do a sensor sweep - full radius full angles to detect the agent
2) get its position
3) do a llRotLookat
repeat 1 to 3 maybe every 0.5 seconds to get a smoothish tracking
Thanks

I now have a tracking spotlight - which you can command to track a given avatar, and it works..  Great for stages etc. |
