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.

For those unfamiliar with the typical swinging door, you use a box and do a path cut 0.375 / 0.875 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.

Changelog

Version 1.2.1:

• Added a sound that plays when the door starts to close

Version 1.2:

• Now always aligns to the global coordinate system or root prim rotation, so you don't need two scripts anymore
• Added graceful sound handling

Version 1.1:

• Added rotation steps so people can start walking through the halfways-open door already
• Added opening on collision
