Smooth Sliding Door Script

Introduction

It really annoys me that there are so many bad looking doors out there that jerk around. While you can use llSetPos for a sliding door you have no control at what speed it moves. This sliding door script i created because i wanted to time my sliding door movements with the door sounds i had. It uses llMoveToTarget to move the door, with the door temporally turning phantom as it moves.

In laggy sims it will behave a little bit funky .. the door sometimes seeming to zoom off to the side before popping into the correct final position as the door becomes a physical object. However, even with that defect it still looks much better IMHO

The Script

   touch_start(integer num_detected)

The Script with Auto-Close

Kira Komarov: A minor off-spin of the script above would be to add an auto-close feature so that the door slides back after a certain user-defined period of time.
