Smooth Rotating Door

Smooth Rotating Door Script

Introduction

Most doors in SL use the same method for opening. They set the door's rotation in one or more steps, resulting in a somewhat choppy motion. This script uses a mixture of llTargetOmega() and llSetLocalRot() to achieve a very smooth, pleasant looking animation for the door. In laggy environments it might be that the script displays a somewhat flaky behavior, but for most cases it will work nicely.

To have the door swing on the Z axis use this version. For those unfamiliar with the typical swinging door, you do a path cut to remove one-half of the prim. This will make appear as if it is swinging on its edge and not around it's middle. <lsl> // Smooth Door Script - Version 1.0 // by Toy Wylie // swing on z axis changes by Clarke Kondor // Distributed under the following licence: // - You can use it in your own works // - You can sell it with your work // - This script must remain full permissions // - This header notice must remain intact // - You may modify this script as needed
