Fiddling with NPC for the first time

Scripted a lot in SL, feeling my way around in OS
Ran the OS demo script for create a clone. It works fine so long as the position is below <256,256,z> . Above that, the NPC says it creates, and the key seems legit, and I can use a different script to kill it ... but it rez's at <163,83,21.5>
Attempts to do an osNpcMoveTo or MoveToTarget result in it walking like it's stuck on something.
My little workshop is up around <470,250,22> so I'd really like it to come to me rather than going to it, and I'd like to be able to put it where I want it.
Is there some bug with NPCs and variregions that it gets confused at >256 positions?
It's not even getting there, but hanging up before that.
It does keep trying to get to the destination - the osNpcGetPos changes as it tries to walk through something that's not there.
Is there a better way to do this?
I saw something about animated meshes... is there a sample script for that I can dissect?

Hi Baroun,
Which OSSL functions are called by this script? Can you paste this demo script here please?

I've done a little with NPCs on Kitely megaworlds and had them patrol above 256, 256, z.

There's a basic animesh script at the end of this thread

You can try replacing llGetPos with osNpcGetPos.

My quick hack to circulate the NPC between five locations, probably rather laggy at scale.
Code: Select all
list posList =[<1062.40210, 808.17059, 21.35000>,
<868.92542, 826.17444, 21.35000>,
<877.43176, 882.00000, 21.35000>,
<886.46490, 924.84503, 21.35000>,
<1075.18933, 897.45819, 21.35000>];
vector target;
integer p;
key npc;
default
{
touch_start(integer n)
{
p = 0;
vector npcPos = llGetPos() + <0.0, 0.0, 1.0>;
npc = osNpcCreate("ImYour", "Clone", npcPos, "appearance1");
target = llList2Vector(posList, p);
llSetTimerEvent(2.0);
osNpcMoveToTarget(npc, target, OS_NPC_NO_FLY);
}
timer()
{
if (llVecDist(osNpcGetPos(npc), target) < 3.0)
{
if (p == 4)
{
p = 0;
}
else
{
p++;
}
target = llList2Vector(posList, p);
osNpcMoveToTarget(npc, target, OS_NPC_NO_FLY);
}
}
}

I had no idea NPC's could fiddle.

You kidding? That's
all they do.
