5. Why Scripts are allowed to set an individual child prim phantom to let an avatar pass through an open door but scripts have no way to set just the root prim phantom without setting the entire linkset phantom If your door is linked as the root prim and it s linked with your house s floor then when the root prim door opens the floor and everything else will go phantom too Oops The easiest solution is to relink the linkset so that the root prim isn t a door That s all you have to do in the default one script per door mode If you have already switched to one script per linkset mode you can change the link order and then manually move the door script and the access notecard and sounds if desired back into the root prim Troubleshooting and FAQ It s a good idea to keep your original copy of the door in inventory where you can easily find it make a backup copy and rez all the doors you need by making copies from the original If a door isn t operating as you expect it should you can try resetting the scripts Frankly the scripts are pretty foolproof and forgiving But if a door happens to turn red vibrates and spews particles just delete the problem door and rez a fresh copy from your original in inventory Q How do I reset a door to factory original settings A To reset an individual script edit the linkset and choose Build gt Scripts gt Set Scripts to Running Q I m using the graphical preferences interface but some preference
6. ching to one script per linkset mode can I link in an additional door and have it also controlled by the controlling script A Just rez a door from your original copy in Inventory and link it in The script in the new door will automatically detect that the doors are operating in one script per linkset mode and will delete itself so that the door can be controlled by the controlling script in the root prim Q I have several different models of your doors linked in a large house object How can I use one script to control all of the different door models A You ll need to use a separate script for each model door The model number of the door must appear in the door prim s name or description and must match the model number in a script s name For example if you have several model HC17 doors and several model EY 23 doors treat them as two independent door systems and put a copy of the Door HC17 script and a copy of the Door EY23 script into the root prim and they will assume control of both door systems Note that in this configuration the scripts in the root prim will share the use of the same access notecard and the sound files if they exist Warranty Sales and Support Satisfaction guaranteed Free door replacements for misdelivery or if you lose your original copy Contact Becky Pippen in world for sales support questions or comments Y Becky Pippen Becky s Gadgets
