The overpowered DOOR,

Mite some give me a fix for this problem I have with a build. I have a boat I'v been Working on. I'v installed a Homedepozzz working door in it. Every thing on the boat is linked now. When I click the door to open it, the whole boat makes a 45% turn ,And I find my self looking at the outside wall.

Please any suggestions.

PS I'v only been in two weeks.... Don't know much...

You're going to have a problem there. Most forms of scripted doors can't be linked to the build that they work in. They do exactly as you observed if you do.

This isn't an issue with a door in a house. But on a vehicle???

There was a way to script a 'hinge joint', which involved making part of the joint physical, and part not. But I recall that function was depricated, or even removed?

Bottom line, a standard door script will not work in a vehicle. Someone needs to show you how to make a door that is actually hinged to a pivot point.

The problem is that you linked the door last, so since it is last, opening it will open the boat.

So de-link the door (ctrl Shift L, with edit linked part selected and just door selected)...then edit the door first, then link to the boat (so door will not be last linked)..

Then should be fine

Also as noted above, never seen a door in a vehicles so might not work when done either, but can try above.

Depends on how the door is scripted, but definitely try the delinking-and-link-again thing as said above. If that doesn't work, that door's probably not suitable for use as part of a linked object I'm afraid, unless you edit the script.

Thanks all it ws great of you'all to answer....

Works fine if the script is written to handle it; I wrote my door script to work under any rotation, including opening and closing while the object is moving. It's a little extra effort up-front that saves huge amounts of aggrivation later.

Having the entire linkset move is a sign the script is in the root prim, as Michael said.
