Summary

Function: vector llGetAccel( );

Returns a vector that is the acceleration of the object in the region frame of reference.

  • Returns ZERO_VECTOR in attachments regardless of the avatar's acceleration.
  • Returns ZERO_VECTOR in child prims regardless of the linkset's acceleration.

//If the object is moving when the script is put in the object, then the object will continue to move, so long as it doesn't accelerate. 
//If you ever want to actually stop an object, use llMoveToTarget(llGetPos(), .1)

        vector ac;
        // Go forever         
        while(llVecMag(ac = llGetAccel()) > .001) { //We're accelerating...
            llApplyImpulse(-ac, 0); //Slow us down.
