Open/close door question

Hello all and happy New Year!

I made a door using one free door script for opening and closing. But I encountered a few problems:

1.When the door opens (/closes) it pivots around the center of the door. How do I correct this so it pivots at one end?
2.This particular script I have opens the door and stays open. What code I need to add or change in order the door to close after few seconds? (now obviously I don’t have any scripting experience, so I may need help with that.)

I thank you all for your suggestions.

The solution is to cut away half of the prim so that it LOOKS like the door is opening on its edge. Try a path cut of .250, .500.

With respect to closing, you need to add a timer instead of the door closing when touched. Post the script?

A second method would be to add a second prim, a 'hinge' prim.

Also, a super-simple, no frills script would be (I might have the axes for rotation off)

default
{
       state_entry()
       {
           // Un-comment the next line for debugging purposes, to test if script is running
           //llSay(0, "Working");
        }
       touch_start(integer number)
       {
           llSetRot(llEuler2Rot<0,0,PI_BY_TWO>));
           llStartTimerEvent(10);
        }
        timer()
        {
           llSetRot(llEuler2Rot<0,0,0>));
           llResetScript;
         }
}

Untested script, should work, if not then oops =/

Wrote it just now off the top of my head.. there are much better door scripts out there, but this one should work. It opens on touch, and closes after 10 seconds.

That will make a triangular wedge.

Use any two values of .125, .375, .625 or .875. (except the first and last together, that will result in 3/4 of the box, when you want 1/2, to hinge on the middle of one edge, or 1/4, to hinge on one corner.)

Thank you guys for your help i will try bothe methods

Im not sure i understand what u mean

To make a half box, which will rotate about the middle of one side, use these values for Path Cut Begin and End:

.125 .625
or
.375 .875


To make a quarter box, which will rotate about one corner, use these values:

.125 .375
or
.375 .625
or
.625 .875

and that is why I added comments on cuts to my super simple door script...
