reflexive (responsive) architecture scripts

hello is there anybody out there that understands reflexive (responsive) architecture scripts?

i am trying to modify keystones script 'Prim Moves X-Meters from Avatar, Returns Home X-Seconds after Avatar Leaves'. i would like to get the prim to move in a radial direction from the avatar rather than in a given vector direction.

i will pay anyone who can help as this is important for my design paper at university

email me [email]samdevo@gmail.com[/email]

thanks!!

conceptually, like this? stay at least 5m away from av, at the opposite end of a fixed point, ?

startPos;
llSetPos( llVecNorm( avPos - startPos ) * 5 + startPos );

kind of... more like that as you walk towards the prim it moves away in a radial direction to you then as you walk away the object returns to its origional position.. thanks for your help anyways!

so as a spiral? plug a triangle formula into the above instead of a straight move away and you should get what you are looking for. perhaps check distance from av instead of distance from the field point.

yea so you create a shere around you as you walk through a 3d feild of prims. then they return to their origin.

as you cansee the direction and distance is vector based. im not sure how to make that based on avatar position.

thanks and sorry for bugging you

if (llVecDist( avPos, basePos ) <5) {
  newPos = avPos + llVecNorm( avPos - basePos ) * 5 ;
  llSetPos( (newPos - <5, 0, 0> * llRotBetween( avPos, basePos )) * .75 );
}

I think...

that should do what I was originally suggesting. if the av is low left of the base pos the object will be 5m away upper right of base pos. as up though the field of detection to the upper left, the object will rotate down around the base pos to the lower right. reactivity is spiral on oblique approaches to the base pos, and more reactive the closer to base pos that the av gets. its spiralality varies in direct proportion to the obliquity of approach.

thanks alot
