OK, I have the Basic Door script in a prim that I want to have swing open from the side like a normal door. When I touch it, it rotates about the prims vertical center, which I guess makes some degree of sense.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to rotate at the edge of the prim. Anyone got any helpful pointers on this?

Create two primitives. One should be large (the door), the other should be small. (the door hinge). Select the primitives. Make sure the hinge is the last primitive selected. Link the primitive together. Put the door script inside, the door should now open and close from the side. ^.^

Don't waste 2 prims for a simple door. Cut it so the rotation center becomes the edge. Or just use this script, which will do that for you.

Thanks guys. Both of those tips work perfectly and I like the idea of savin a prim on each door. Problem solved

Ezhar, I tried the script that you posted on Wiki, and for some reason when I put the script in the wooden cube prim, it did not turn into a door. Were there any changes to LSL that may have prevented that script from working? |

Did the wooden cube have the default texture? If it doesn't have the default texture, the code in the state_entry event handler of the defautl state won't retexture and shape the prim.

The solution was much simpler and had something to do with the land options dialog

I was thinking of that but was sure it wasn't that easy. I thought the axis was declared in the script or something. Thanks I will try this.

I meant to come in here and thank Ezhar Fairlight for her quick response in game. As it turned out, I was trying to make the door on my sisters plot before her arrival and did not have script running rights on her land. I was able to create there, but not to run scripts.
While I was working on this script, I decided to add some float variables so that someone could chose to create a door of a different size. Thanks again Ezhar Fairlight! _____________________
