Sitting on the door...

Hello. Any advice would be appreciated. I put together a script for a locking sliding door, and I want to make it even easier to lock/unlock than having to edit a notecard or talk to the door. I figured that I would just use the Sit option from the right click pie. Well, it works fine, locks and unlocks the door... but I sit on the door, then jump off. Can anyone give me any advice for stopping this silly animation? Please? The 'changed' code is below:

CODE

    changed(integer change) { // something changed 
        if (change & CHANGED_LINK) { // and it was a link change 
            if (llAvatarOnSitTarget() != NULL_KEY) { // somebody is sitting on me 
                llUnSit(llAvatarOnSitTarget()); // unsit him 
                if (locked) {
                    locked = FALSE;
                    llSetSitText("Lock");
                } 
                else {
                    locked = TRUE;
                    llSetSitText("Unlock");
                }
            } 
        }
    }

Your trying for the impossible.
The SIT pie chart item will make your AV sit before any of your script code is called.

Why don't you just add a separate prim the user can touch to lock/unlock it (assuming you already use touch on the main door to open/close it)?

I put my lock/unlock/window control hud code in a control panel, just the panel near the door where only the owner knows about it. It is just another child prim in the linked set.

Interesting suggestion, Ed. I tried passing the locked/unlocked status through a message on a lock prim I linked to the door, and that works fine. Only thing the nitpicker in me would change is that when I lock or unlock the door, it opens because it sets off the touched message in the base door. Anyone have a suggestion about how to lock/unlock without opening the door?

Oh yeah, and it DOUBLED my door prim usage! lol. (lives in a small apt, every prim counts)

Though about a HUD menu. Would make it easier to add to, remove from the access list. But then I have to weigh the cost/benefits. Oh, and would that information get lost every time the sim restarted? Anyone know the answer to that? Notecard seems to be only persistent data storage that I know of. Well, that, and hard coding info.
