need a prim moving script that creates a trail.

looking for a script that will move a prim tem meters and create a prim along the trail while doing so.

I need it for a DNA RNA transcription translation animation that I am making.

Re: need a prim moving script that creates a trail.

okay I got it to move using this

//June 2008
//Macca Rox's version
//---/---/---/------------------------------------------//_______________________>>
vector      DIST    = <-1.5,2.0,0>; //set movement amount and direction. Use a minus for reverse
float       SLEEP       = 0.5;      //set time between movements
//float       VOLUME      = 0.8;      // sound volume, 1.0 loudest, 0.0 to disable sound
//key         SOUND_OPEN = "";
//key         SOUND_CLOSE = "";
vector      Pos;//Get the prims position
//---/---/---/------------------------------------------//_______________________>>
open()
{
         //llTriggerSound(SOUND_OPEN, VOLUME);
         Pos = llGetPos();
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() + DIST); //Add or remove these pairs for more or less steps
         llSleep(SLEEP);
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() + DIST);
         llSleep(SLEEP);
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() + DIST);
         llSleep(SLEEP);
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() + DIST);
         //llWhisper(0,"Opened");
         llSetObjectDesc("1"); //Sets object Description for open position
}
close()
{
         //llTriggerSound(SOUND_CLOSE, VOLUME);
         Pos = llGetPos();
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() - DIST);
         llSleep(SLEEP);
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() - DIST);
         llSleep(SLEEP);
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() - DIST);
         llSleep(SLEEP);
         llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() - DIST);
         //llWhisper(0,"Closed");
         llSetObjectDesc("0");//Sets object Description for close position
}
//---/---/---/------------------------------------------//_______________________>>
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        if(llGetObjectDesc()=="") llSetObjectDesc("0"); // if any, initialize Object's Description as storage variable
    }
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if(change & CHANGED_OWNER) //Check for a new owner
        llResetScript();
    }


    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(llGetObjectDesc()=="0")
        {
            open();
        }
        else if(llGetObjectDesc()=="1")
        {
            close();
        }
     }

}

now I need to know how to get it to spawn a prim every time it sleeps along the length of the movement.

Re: need a prim moving script that creates a trail.

Hey Arachia,

you can rez prims using the llRezObject function.

Put a prim in your main (moving) prims inventory, give it a name (eg. "trail"), and then after each move of your main prim, add

llRezObject("trail", llGetPos(), ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 0);

That should do the job.

Greetings, Galen
