using llGetPrimitiveParams in a self aware door

hi all, I have a multi prim door I want to open & close on click.

have found this nice script: (from http://www.jeff-barr.com/?cat=13 )

vector OpenPos = <149.283, 75.009, 77.3681>; 
vector OpenRot = <0, 270.0, 270.0>; 
vector ClosedPos = <151.681, 75.009, 75.009>;
vector ClosedRot = <0, 0, 270.0>; 

default 
{ 
  state_entry() 
  { 
  state closed; 
  } 
} 

state closed 
{ 
  touch_start(integer N) 
  {
     state open;
  }
  
  state_entry() 
  { 
    llSetPos(ClosedPos); llSetRot(llEuler2Rot(ClosedRot * DEG_TO_RAD)); 
  } 
} 

state open 
{ 
  touch_start(integer N) 
  { 
    state closed; 
  } 

  state_entry() 
  { 
    llSetPos(OpenPos); llSetRot(llEuler2Rot(OpenRot * DEG_TO_RAD)); 
  } 
}
 

(sorry if it's formatted badly! you can see it in the link, it's nicer there.)

my question is, as this code needs to be set with the open & close values on ressing the door every time (it'll be used in a sandbox environment for now), can I replace

vector ClosedPos = <x, y, z>;

with

vector ClosedPos = <llGetPrimitiveParams(PRIM_POSITION)>

and the vector OpenPos with

vector OpenPos = <llGetPrimitiveParams(PRIM_POSITION)> - <a, b, c>

?

(where <a, b, c> is some transform vector. as the doors open and close positions will have the same position relative to each other every time. )


thanks for your time also, my syntax is obviously terrible, what's the correct way to use llGetPrimitiveParams like this?

Afraid the answer is no as llGetPrimitiveParameters will return you a list of all the prim parameters. You would have to manually filter through the list until you found the position.

However whats wrong with using llGetPos ?

I've never coded in SL before, so I'm sure there's nothing wrong with llGetPos

is there one for get rotation too? llGetRot ?

yep and lots of others. Look here

awesome, thanks
