a close follow script??

Is there a way to get an object to follow me, but move when I move without a delay, almost as if it were attatched. I know the regualr follow script has a delay....is there a way to change it, or do I have to use a compleatly differnt method?

What do you need it to do that it wouldn't do if it were actually just 'attached'?

I was working on something like this, but I got distratced.

It used llSensorRepete on a physical object.

You have use both the current targets position and veloisty as part of a motion control loop.

Almost all follow scripts that I am aware of use some form of llSensorRepeat and llSetPos (or llMoveToTarget, if physical), repeatedly calling them if necessary. With this method, there will always be some kind of latency, so the movement of the follower will always lag behind your movements.

I don't know what you have in mind, but you might also try to use an invisible "cage" around your follower that is attached to your avatar and would drag it along with you (the follower would have to be physical in this case). Kinda seems redundant, if the goal is not using an attachment at all, but it is a thought. Not sure if it would work or not, though.

You could "outsource" the movement via link messages to a number of different movement scripts. You could use multiple follow scripts, too, if you can't manage to dial down llSensorRepeat to a low enough level to suit you. People use this sort of thing to build massive vehicles and other moving objects. But if you want absolutely millisecond-perfect following then yeah, you want to use an attachment, or link the object to another attachment.
