Slow closing vault door

I'm working on a bank vault type door to put on the top of a high-tech vampire coffin.

Currently, Im just using a simple llSetRotation call to flip it open and closed on a touch event. But this is too quick, and doesnt give the impression of "weight". So, I wonder how I might slow the rotation process?

Perhaps with some kind of while loop that rotates it a bit at a time until the lid is completely open?

Any advice is welcome!

using multipull llSetRotation in small steps like 20 or 40 each one has a 0.2sec delay

Unfortunately the delay can give a rather jerky motion, but it does work.

Essentially the same question covered here.

It occurs to me that what you *really* need is a good sound...

*grins*

And bursts of particle steam from the seam as it opens (would need an invisible phantom prim in the middle to do that, I think, though).
