Sliding doors

Sliding doors
I have bought a script for sliding doors, and I can't make it work. They wont slide...? The script is as following:

// Sliding Door Script
// By Lux Zhukovsky

vector size;
float dimx;
rotation rot;
vector angle;
string id;
integer count;
vector offset;
default
{
state_entry()
{
size= llGetScale();
size.x -= 0.1;
dimx = size.x;
rot = llGetLocalRot();
angle = llRot2Fwd(rot);
offset = dimx*angle;
}
touch_start(integer p)
{
integer x;
vector pos = llGetLocalPos();
for (x = 1; x < 2; x++)
{
llSetPos(pos + x*offset);
llSleep(0.1);
}
offset *= -1;
}
}


When I make an object I paste this script into the content folder – is there anything else I can do? I mean - eventhough the doors are standing in the middle of nowhere, I guess they should still work. Do I need to attach them to my house first? And should they be linked?

Please help - I have already spent 3 hours on these doors, and they are driving me crazy!

Check the obvious, is the script is set to run?

yes

OK, what actually happens when you touch the door?
You can try adding llOwnerSay messages inside the varius event handlers to see what is going on

// Sliding Door Script
// By Lux Zhukovsky

vector size;
float dimx;
rotation rot;
vector angle;
vector offset; 

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        size= llGetScale();
        size.x -= 0.1;
        dimx = size.x;
        rot = llGetLocalRot();
        angle = llRot2Fwd(rot);
        offset = dimx*angle;
        
        llOwnerSay("Door parameters are Rot = " + (string)rot + "  angle = " + (string)angle + "  offset = " + (string)offset);
    }
    
    touch_start(integer p)
    {
        llOwnerSay("Touched");
        integer x;
        vector pos = llGetLocalPos();
        for (x = 1; x < 2; x++)
        {
            pos += offset;
            llSetPos(pos);
            llOwnerSay("moving to " + (string)pos);
            llSleep(0.1);
        }
        offset *= -1;
    }
}

Sometimes it helps to lay it out with [ php ] and [/ php ] tags

// Sliding Door Script
// By Lux Zhukovsky

vector size;
float dimx;
rotation rot;
vector angle;
string id;
integer count; 
vector offset; 

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        size= llGetScale ();  // get door dimensions
        size.x -= 0.1;
        dimx = size.x;
        rot = llGetLocalRot ();  //i guess object is linked? defaults to llGetRot ()
        angle = llRot2Fwd (rot);  // get forward direction
        offset = dimx*angle;   // new position?
    }
    

    touch_start(integer p)
    {
        integer x;
        vector pos = llGetLocalPos();  // = llGetLocalPos () if not linked
        for (x = 1; x < 2; x++)          // this will only fire once for x = 1
        {
            llSetPos(pos + x*offset);
            llSleep(0.1);
        }
        offset *= -1;
    }
}

I just tried to save the preset script that appears when you cick new script. The one with "Hello Avatar". That one doesn't work either????
Is it me? Or is something really really wrong here?

othe robvious thing to check, Are you on script enabled land?

In about land or somewhere else also?

Check for a no script icon in the title bar.

hi, it works for me. remove the last line, theres one too many of these {
