Generalized undamped pendulum motion in 3 dimensions. Can swing in simple arcs, circles, elipses, or lissajous curves, and spin at the same time.
Suitable for regular pendulums, swings, spinning tire swings, spinning tops, bobbleheads, rocking boats, etc.
Two scripts are included on this page. The first one toggles the swinging on or off on touch. The second script presents a menu of various motions on touch. I recommend starting with the second, demo script, to see what motions it's capable of, then copying the configuration you like to the touch on/off script and tweaking it to suit your needs

If you get the error "Only linksets which uses the new prim equivalency system may be animated.", set the object to physics type convex hull, or add the followin in the script:
state_entry()
{
llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_ROOT,
[PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_TYPE, PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_CONVEX,
PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_ALL_CHILDREN,
PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_TYPE, PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_NONE]);
}
I did not include that in the script since it would break mesh builds with custom physics shapes
