	Hello, thank you! I'm sorry, I've never really checked the discussions tabs so I'm catching up. The [[Wanderer]] script should contain itself within the limits of MOVEMENT_RANGE so you could actually measure how how far you need it to travel and avoid that problem. The [[Wanderer]] script does not exceed the range specified by MOVEMENT_RANGE, it just selects random points within a geometric shape, starting from the first point where the script activated and travels to them. Thus, its movement will be limited between "initial point" and MOVEMENT_RANGE. It should not progressively stray away from that distance.		Hello, thank you!

			For example, if you wanted to script a bird, you could measure the range you would like it to fly in and then set MOVEMENT_RANGE to that. It should never move beyond that.

			Hello, thank you! I'm sorry, I've never really checked the discussions tabs so I'm catching up. The [[Wanderer]] script should contain itself within the limits of MOVEMENT_RANGE so you could actually measure how how far you need it to travel and avoid that problem.


			Try this on the object that will use the [[Wanderer]] script:

			<lsl>
			llSetStatus(STATUS_DIE_AT_EDGE, TRUE);
			</lsl>

			which should delete the object if it hits the edge of the SIM ([[STATUS_DIE_AT_EDGE]]). Or you can even make it return with:

			<lsl>
			llSetStatus(STATUS_RETURN_AT_EDGE, TRUE);
			</lsl>

			This should be set somewhere in the object using he [[Wanderer]] script, somewhere in the state_entry() or on_rez() event.

New page

Hi Kira,

I've been following your efforts and first off I'd like to say thanks on behalf of the people who will find these goodies useful.

I was just looking at this script with great interest, as it fits a particular need that I am working on, so the timing is quite fortuitous. I did however notice a possible issue that may arise. Should the wanderer go off a sim into the wild... it won't die. Also something to ponder adding in, is parcel containment to restrict the wanderer from travelling onto others parcels.

Just a couple of thoughts :)
Have a Terrific Day & Thanks again for posting in these goodies.
