simple open/close script

Just wondered if any of you code guys could help?

I'm looking for a script that will open the lid on an object (in this case, a shell) and then automatically close it again after a few seconds. We've tried scripts from doors but too much chat...just a simple open/close will do, but I can't find one anywhere. Could anyone point me in the right direction please.

I'm only just getting to grips with building...scripting is way out of my league at the moment!! lol

Many thanks for your help

state default
{
state_entry()
{
// do whatever rotation or movement you need for your lid to close
}
touch_start(integer avatarCount)
{
// do whatever rotation or movement you need for your lid to open
state open;
}
}
state open
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
}
touch_start(integer avatarCount)
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
state default;
}
timer()
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
state default;
}
}


I don't know what kinda shape or position your lid is in so can't give you code for that. But this should be a good start for you.

Thank you for taking the time to reply Lyn...I will work on this
