LlMoveToTarget

Critically damp to target in tau seconds (if the script is physical)

To stop the object from maintaining the target positions use llStopMoveToTarget
To change the rotation in the same manner use llLookAt or llRotLookAt.

• Only works in attachments and physics-enabled objects.
• When slowly moving to a lower Z value, beware of SVC-2441^[c] - the sim will incorrectly move the object down faster than it should. That is, if you try moving to llGetPos() + <10, 10, -10>, you can end up at .z-10 several meters before getting to .x-10 and .y-10. There is a demo object in the JIRA which shows this effect.
• A llMoveToTarget call seems to persist even if physics is turned off. This is a useful trick on sluggish sims where the object can drop a bit between the call to enable physics and the call to llMoveToTarget - just do the llMoveToTarget before setting the object to physical.
• llVecDist(llGetPos(), target) must be less than 65, or no movement will occur.
• Calling llMoveToTarget with a tau of 0.0 will silently fail, and do nothing.
