Need help with a turret script

A lil while ago I created a turret script that automatically tracks the nearest avater, but I havn't been able to use it when linked to another object

CODE

sensor(integer total_number)
    {
        vector pos = llDetectedPos(0);
        vector vel = llDetectedVel(0);
        llLookAt(pos+vel, .1 , 1);
        if(armed == TRUE)
        {
            llRezObject("Bullet",llGetPos(),<0,0,40>*llGetRot(),llGetRot(),1);
        }
            
    }


At the moment it uses llLookAt which as I've found is bloody useless when linked

Any help would be appreciated

Instead of llLookAt use llSetLocalRot(); You'll have to play with it a bit after that point.

You can't really rotate multiple linked prims around very easily either, so you might have you use a single-prim turret.

It is a single prim turret, at the moment I'm struggling with llSetLocalRot as it wants a rotation and not a vector that llLookAt does.

Any hints on how to this to work??

Look at the wiki page for llLookAt or llRotLookAt, I posted a function that takes a position and converts it into a rotation that points an axis of the object at the position.
