NOTE: I no longer am on SL, and as such these do not come with user support.

See Product Features for a TL;DR.

This simple script is used to create a natural-looking floating effect for an object (slows near the top and bottom of its motion, then reverses direction). See the demo for a demonstration.

The script is fully editable, allowing for full customization. The parts needed to alter the movement of the object are easy to access at the top of the script. Experiment with them to find your fit!

Note: This cannot be used in worn attachments, as the script uses SL position to move with.
If you have any questions, or run into any bugs, or need help, IM me!

Here is the snippet of editable options in the script. The demo object uses these parameters:

// Heights in meters
float moveMPerStep = 0.001; // Move x meters per step
float changeStage = 0.001; // Increment speed to quicken then slow move
integer steps = 40; // Number of steps per cycle
float topWait = 0.0; // Wait duration at top position till descending
float botWait = 0.0; // Wait duration at bottom position before ascending

  • Natural-looking floating object effect
  • Full perm script allows for full customization
  • Easy to use and edit
  • Uses positioning, so object can be solid (small movements recommended for this)

Very nice easy to edit script, simply doubling the cycle steps made for some perfect mario-esque floating platforms. Thanks!
