llRotLookAt Questions

I recently read a post here that was able to answer my questions and help me out with a scripting question that I had. However I am looking at adding llRotLookAt or the like.

sensor(integer total_number) 
     { 
        if (found == 1 && OnOff == 1)
        {
            vector holder = llDetectedPos(0); // Agent bound to the script 
            if(llVecMag(llGetPos() - holder) > distance) 
                { 
                    llMoveToTarget(holder + (distance * llVecNorm(llGetPos() - holder)),0.3);  // Move to llGetOwner() position
                    llRotLookAt(holder, strength, damping);            // Rotate to look at Collar Owner
                    llSleep(time / 4.0); 
                    llStopMoveToTarget();            // Stop Movement to prevent stacking
                    llStopLookAt();                                // Stop Rotation  " " "
                }
            
        }
    }

(the strength and damping variables are specified globally)

Now the llMoveToTarget works fine and how I want it to. Now doing research on the wiki I found that llRotLookAt is the best thing for physical objects.

I have read over the information in regards to llRotLookAt but I for some reason cannot seem to get the scripting to work. I think I do not fully understand the explination on how it works in regards to the strength and damping.

Could someone explain this to me? Or show how I could get this working?

Just a guess, but are you trying to use this in an attachment to make the avatar face a particular direction?

If so, it clearly states in the Wiki that it does not work in attachments. There is llPointAt, which is *supposed* to do this, but it has been broken for a long long time (since beta).

That is what I was looking for, but I also do know that it doesnt work on attachments. However for testing purposes it would still be nice to have the tested object move and face.

So yes, I know that it won't rotate an avatar. But that wasn't my question.

Does it rotate at all?

Something you might try:

llRotLookAt(llGetRot() * llRotBetween(<1,0,0> * llGetRot(), holder- llGetPos()), strength, damping);

Isn't there one to many arguements in that function? I have tried something like that but it keeps stating syntax error, or invalid type. both the strength and damping are globally set to float variables.

float strength = 1.0;
float damping = 1.0;

Try copying and pasting - should work fine.

Tinkering with damp and strength should affect the dynamics of the rotation (speed and such).
