Hey guys!

I've been pondering the idea of having a vehicle, let's say....

a plane, with an opening and closing canopy latch door. Will

llSetPos work for that or is there more...? Also, on a car, is

there a way to make the car door rotate open, but still be

attached, when I was young and foolish I used llTargetOmega

and the results were.....unsatisfying ;) . Please help me! I

hate not knowing things hehe :D

Thanks!

Fox,
You may want to read a couple of the wiki pages. I have recently started looking into this very subject, for a different purpose. I found the following wiki pages to be very helpful...

llSetPos() Information.
(Read the section on Child objects)
http://www.badgeometry.com/wiki/llSetPos

Child Rotation
http://www.badgeometry.com/wiki/ChildRotation

It still takes a bit of work and some time, but you should be able to work out your car doors.

Hope this helps,
McW
