(Mod: please delete my accidential posting to the wrong scripting group) /me blushes

The subject wasn't just me being friendly

I've really done it to myself this time. I'm trying to create a greeting card, Basically an open and close (like a door script, but linked). I've bounced through the libraries, and most door scripts I can see don't take well to linking or, in one case, seem to will themselves into door shape.

Anyone have a suggestion for a script that will do the job *and* be linkable?

Mari

Probably lots to choose from, but out of habit I generally start with "Timeless Linked Door" . For this application, one would presumably tinker with the sound effects, permissions settings, auto-close... make it less door-like, I suppose.

(Actually, for this app, I'd start from scratch, unless my greeting card needed a doorbell sound. Oh, book scripts might be another option.)

Just remember to change the script from:

llSetRot

to

llSetLocalRot

llSetRot will rotate an entire object, whereas llSetLocalRot will rotate only the prim itself. (EXCEPTION: If your prim is the 'root' prim, llSetLocalRot will still rotate the whole object)
