Move Within a Bounded Box is one of the most powerful animation tools in a deco's toolkit. It's your go-to animator for insects, birds, animals, vehicles, and just about anything you could conceivably want to move.
Much has been written about using this script. I won't give a tutorial here, but just a couple of tips off the top of my head.
The X, Y, and Z values set the size of the box your prop will move around in. That's obvious. But you can play some neat tricks by setting two of the axes to zero, leaving your prop free to oscillate on only one axis. Good for moving stuff up and down, side to side, or in and out.
Once you start a prop moving in a box, it's sometimes hard to catch it if you want to change something. The best way to capture an elusive prop is to find it in the prop list, go to the script, then set the prop's speed to 1. (NOT ZERO!). Once your prop is about stopped, you can revise the script parameters, catch your butterfly, or whatever you need to do.
Set the speed to 1 before making any changes to a moving prop. Then restore the speed to its original value.
Everyone seems to set the turn rate too fast. You'll normally achieve more realistic action with slow, graceful turns.
Experiment, experiment, and experiment some more!
Have fun!
