Swinging Doors

[ocean]

I am confused as to how to set up swinging doors correctly in Leadwerks. As it is now it looks like the doors are mounted on hinges that extend 20 cm from the wall.

The sliding swinging door script comes with an 'Offset' property that allows you to set the pin's local position on the door. So for example, if you want the inherent model 'slidingdoor_left' to swing open at its side instead of its origin (which is at its bottom-center), then set the 'Offset' property to (-1.0,0.0,0.0).

Thanks both. I am unable to find a 'offset' property on the sliding door script. So, I take it you mean the 'swinging door' script. But setting it doesn't remedy the problem. It looks like the pivot is too far from the door's back so that it swings open far to wide.

Yes - swinging door script. In any case, it works fine for the model I suggested above. Are you using your own custom model? If so, then I suggest you post it as all we can do without seeing the model is guess how to resolve the problem.

 

Edit -- in my suggestion above, I am not using a pivot but rather just the door model itself.

Hmm... I just applied the script to a csg brush. I couldn't find a swinging door prefab. Just sliders.

Here's the map. Thanks for helping out.

The sliding door is the model I am referring to - you can just place the swinging door script on it. As for your issue, the offset value was wrong based on the size of your door. A 1-meter offset on the X-axis was too far but was just right for the sliding door model. For your CSG door which is 128 cm wide, you should use an offset of 0.64 on the X-axis instead.

Ah! Brilliant. Thank you for taking the time.
