Attaching Vehicle to Moving Object...

...1) is it even possible to "attach" a vehicle to another moving object and force it to move with that object (i.e., through a set of setpos or movetotarget commands?)

...2) if possible, any hints on how something like this might be accomplished? I've attempted sensor and whispers combined with the passing of vector instuctions between the objects and some movetotarget and setpos loops...but doesn't seem to work out very well

Help is greatly appreciated in advance.

First, you might want to try better syncronization of the stuff we posted to your old thread. Say... have a listener trigger each move together? It works pretty well with my linkless prim animator.

Alternately, you could try llCreateLink, but you'll need to make sure to set the proper permissions first. It would also be very difficult to unlink two multiprim objects quickly in this manner.

Thanks again Jeffrey. I've really worked pretty hard with the stuff from my old thread and am pretty sure everything is set up to run right, just doesn't work out for one reason or another--which is why I was wondering if it was possible to force a vehicle into that type of movement.

I'll try the llCreateLink, as my vehicle object is actually only one prim--so that should work out very easily for detaches. It's funny, I was searchin' the WIKI for just such a command--I must have been really tired. Sorry.

You can also try using a hinge or P2P link, although these must be made by hand (not scriptable). This is what I use to glue my Warthog to the Pelican.

Hmmm...I'll have to research hinges and P2Ps...thanks.
