Strangely rotating doors

For some reason, my single-prim doors that open on touch work fine when the building is unlinked, but turn in random directions when it is linked. I can't figure out how to fix this. Resetting the scripts does not work.

Void Singer has a nice, simple script for linked doors here: /54/11/355866/1.html#post2645831

if it's multi prim, the script you are using may not be able to handle being linked (some use get root rotation)

if it uses something like the Timeless Linked Door script, those can be finicky if you don't clear out the prim description (where it saves old settings)

mine won't have that problem, the only issue it shows is if you reset it when it's in the open position. but once set up it should never have to be reset, even if you later change the house to a different location/rotation.

Is there a way to modify it so that the doors auto-close after a set time?

yes...

CODE

 //-- 90 degrees around z axis, use - 90 to reverse direction
vector vDegSwing = <0, 0, 90>;
rotation vRotSwing;
//-- 5.0 seconds till auto close
float vFltTmt = 5.0;
float vFltOpn;

uDoor(){
  llSetLocalRot( (vRotSwing = ZERO_ROTATION / vRotSwing) * llGetLocalRot() );
  llSetTimerEvent( (vFltOpn = (float)(!((integer)vFltOpn)) * vFltTmt) );
  //-- small hack to get around logical not with floats
}

default{
  state_entry(){
    vRotSwing = llEuler2Rot( vDegSwing * DEG_TO_RAD ); // convert to rotation
  }
  
  touch_start( integer vIntNull ){
    uDoor();
  }
  
  timer(){
    if (vFltOpn){
      uDoor();
    }
  }
}


remeber to use a halfcut root prim, I suggest a box pathcut start 0.375, end 0.875 or 0.625 (realistic hing action on the second)

/me says tentatively...


I think the first "integer" should be "float."
