I have created a box with a lid that opens and closes when touched. It took me ages to work out how to link the lid ( which contains the adapeted door script) and have it still work correctly. It all works now as long as the box is not rotated away from 0,0,0. As soon as I rotate the box the lid goes screwy. I am new to scripting, so can someone give me a solution in simple language. Thanks.

Still need a lid fix

Thanks Kronos, I got the box (very pretty) but I see that you may have had the same problem as I did as your lid is not linked to the box. The box I have made works in two ways.
1. If i leave the scripted lid unlinked it works perfectly, you just have to click both pieces to move as a bundle and you can move or rotate and it works. 2. if I link the lid (making sure the linking order is correct so the whole box doesn't rotate) it all works fine until you rotate the box. If the box is rotated out of its rezzed alignment position the lid rotates at a diferant angle each time it is touched. So my question is, is there a way of making the script recognize the linked object's new position so that the lid rotates at 90 degrees from that new position? |

Here's the script I use. I vary it for a lot of uses. The drawers, the lid to a music box or gift box, house doors.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have worked on this for weeks and I was so close to the solution but just couldn't crack it. May all your scripts complile first run.
Cheers Rhon |

I have only just only just joined this forum and I am amazed at the generosity of the people on here. I will study both scripts and will learn a great deal by comparing them.
Thanks Again |
