Make an avatar walk in a path

Hello,

I am trying to create an object that when attached to an avatar it takes control of it and moves the object (and the avatar) forward a few meters.

I tried to use the following:

llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
vector destination = llGetPos() + <0, 0, 10>;
float range = 0.5;
targetID = llTarget( destination, range );
llMoveToTarget( destination, 10 );

When the object is not attached it works but when it is attached it doesn't move the object attached (and therefore the avatar).

Can anybody point me to a tutorial or a solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

You don't need to set the prim physical if it's an attachment. Also try using a lower value for tau in llMoveToTarget, if it's too low I think the force applied doesn't negate the friction or something.

There is also a slight bug with llMoveToTarget(). If you change a script with it in you need to unequip and equip the attachment otherwise you don't move.

I created this system for a client. I cant tell you exactly how its done, but llMove2Target is the right path.

One caveat, you can't turn the avatar from script.

In addition to what Resolver stated you may need to go as far as dropping/rezzing the object on the ground (well in world as opposed to attached) and resetting the script. I was using a script which used physics functions in an attachment and this is how I made changes, just to be on the safe side.

recap: If you make changes to your script, save the script, drop the attachment, reset the script, wear it again.
