Steering a stationary vehicle by mouselook

Does anyone know what the flags would be to have a vehicle which doesn't move but spins based on mouselook? It's kind of like a turret that you control via mouselook.

This is what I have so far:


llRemoveVehicleFlags(-1);
llSetVehicleType(VEHICLE_TYPE_SLED);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, HOVER_HEIGHT);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_EFFICIENCY, 0.5);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_TIMESCALE, 0.1);
llSetVehicleFlags(VEHICLE_FLAG_NO_FLY_UP | VEHICLE_FLAG_MOUSELOOK_BANK);
llSetVehicleVectorParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <0, 0, PI*4> );

In a timer I apply a little bit of impulse to keep the turrest updated in terms of position.

Any thoughts, please let me know.

Hi. A friend of mine had this sort of setup some time ago. While I'm not a big fan of the vehicle system, you may want to fiddle with some of the attractor flags that keep the vehicle upright, as listed on the linked page.


Alternately, mouselook can also be expressed by taking llGetRot from an attachment or llDetectedRot when running a sensor through an avatar. While not the most elegant solution, you could then use llRotLookAt after you have the operator's rotation value to rotate the turret without having it move about.

llMoveToTarget and physics code might also help it move smoothly.
