need to make a +32 prim object fly around space on a set path? this is EXACTLY the tool you need. it even works for smaller things. this tool can be used to move things in loops around in space. Using splining mathematics, it will move the objects naturally and smoothly through space! Because it is powered by math, it doesn't use the physics engine at all, so you can interact with anything you are moving around, just like it was a physical object. it's smoother than the LSL built in waypoint system, easier to use, and doesn't react oddly when you interact with it!

This is free, not because it is bad, it is in fact the product of half a year of work! it's free because i just don't care anymore. it says beta, but it's fully functional and tested to the max!

Use the pro version. The other doesn't really work. It's hard to figure out the timings note card.
-The 1st number seems to effect speed the most (it really needs to slow down). -2 is the lowest number that seems to work.
- I had a scripter friend look at it and we can't figure out what the 2nd number does but it needs something, so I put .25
-The last number seems to affect how long it will pause at the waypoints. It gives an error message at 0 but still works. I did not want awkward pauses.
I have -2,.25, 0 on my timer notecard.

-It works with animesh. I put the script in a prim and attached it to a walking animesh chicken. The chicken is the root prim with its own scripts. The Spline stuff it in the secondary prim.
-You can sit on the object and ride (fun).
-It works with Grim Combat quest item scripts. I have a chicken catching quest.
-more waypoints in the circuit will slow it down too. You can delete them once it is going.
-I'm told it is a laggy design because of the amount of info it sends back & forth to the server but it runs fine for me.
Worth playing with for the price. If I could slow it down easier, cause it to pause at a given waypoint and if it had better instructions, I would give it 4 or 5 stars and be willing to pay for it.
Hope this helps anyone who buys it. The price was right

It works great, only you have to sit on the object. When you stand on it you will slide off, when the object is actually physical you can have people standing on it if it does not move too rough. So i would LOVE to see an implementation of this for physical objects as well.
