I've made it so that my doors open and close by linking them to a small base prim located at the edge of the door which rotates when the door is touched. This works fine when the door is by itself, however when I link the whole house together this stops the doors from working, as the door becomes linked to the whole house instead of the hinge and only the hinge keeps the script. I've seen linked houses with working doors, how do I make the doors so that they will work?

Typically, you can not link a door to a build.
The only exception to this is the linkable doors like the ones introduced by Timeless Prototype. The original doors broke because of a change the lindens made to the size of the object name and description fields, so, look for the newer ones. You can find the scripts in the scripting forums. _____________________

If you cut the door in half so the center of rotation of the prim is on the edge, you don't need a second "hinge" prim and you can link it with the build.

cut 0.375/0.875 (or exchange one of those for 0.625)

Typically you CAN link Doors - what you cannot link is hinged multi-prim doors. Any cheap or free door script I have seen can do linked doors, I am not sure where this misinformation comes from. The reference to cutting the prim is the proper approach except that if you you cut it even further you get the proper "hinge" location on a single prim. _____________________
