Have a small problem with the Swinging door script

[bansama]

As a follow on from this topic: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/10226-where-can-i-find-this-example-map/

 

I now have sliding doors set up. These I can now make without a problem. But in doing so I have noticed something which I think is caused by something in the sliding door script itself, but I have no idea what exactly.

 

The problem is that once a door has been opened (I'm using the manual activate set to true, with closing delay set to 0) when you close it, it always ends up a tiny degree off from its starting point. It's as if the script is ending before the very last degree of movement so it cannot come to rest at its original position.

 

To be honest, I doubt it's something most would notice unless specifically looking for it, but it is a little annoying nonetheless.

 

Any ideas on what's going on and how it could be fixed?

I think it's just a function of the physics joints. Once they are pretty close to resting, the object falls asleep.

 

Also, make sure your doors and surrounding walls are both using the "Scene" collision type, so they don't collide and there is no friction on the joint.

@Josh Yeah, I've checked and both the door and the door frame prefab I made have their collision type set to Scene. At first I thought it might be because I'm using a prefab, but I get the same thing when I don't too.

 

I think I'll just redesign the door frame so this is less noticeable for now.

 

Thanks.

I ended up looking into this more and seem to have found a solution that works well enough.

 

First I added this at the start of the SwiningDoor script. The default value is what has worked best for me so far.

 

Script.closeoffset=1.3--float "Close offset"

 

And then making the very simple change of:

 

self.joint:SetAngle(self.closedangle)

to

self.joint:SetAngle(self.closedangle-self.closeoffset)

 

As shown below:

 

function Script:Close()--in
if self.enabled then
if self.openstate then
self.openstate=false
if self.loopsource then
self.loopsource:Release()
self.loopsource=nil
end
if self.closesound then
self.entity:EmitSound(self.closesound)
end
self.joint:SetAngle(self.closedangle-self.closeoffset)
self.component:CallOutputs("Close")
end
end
end

I cant seem to get this script to do anything to any door I have! The door is set to scene, the frame is set to scene and making any changes to any of the variables does absolutely nothing for me to make this door open. Any suggestions?

 

The function seems to be working BUT the actual door does not swing open. The door image/texture stays put but the physics of the door function so it appears as though you are walking through the door.
