Door rotation after rotating building

[xtom]

I added a swing door to a building using the SwingingDoor.lua script. I got it working pretty good and saved the building with door as a prefab but when I rotate the building to place it in a different location the swing angle on the door is off. Is there any way to keep the door swing angle relative to building. I thought making the door a child of the building in the scene tree it would do this automatically, but it seems not unless I am missing something.

do not use the offset in script , its in world coords (relativ). move the mesh or pivot for the door to the left or right.

if u use a 3d editor move the mesh to the left or right to the world center y axis.

often a export use this world center 0,0,0 as mesh center point.

I'm just using a simple box for a door not a model. I have set the offset to zero, thanks for that. To use a pivot do I make the door/box a child of the pivot or the other way around? And do I apply the script to the box or the pivot?

[MarkusR]

yes, pivot should also work but don't know if u can save this combination as prefab.

u need to turn the pivot. the other objects are relativ to it.

the door is subobject.

 

if u use the script offset, a normal door have x offset +0.44 m or -0.44 m.

if the house wall is rotated +90 or -90 degree i remember i had exchange the x and z.

but there was no preview in scene, so i used the other way.

I've removed it from the prefab to see if I can get the pivot working with the door. So I have...

 

Root

-Pivot

--Box

 

If I rotate the pivot in the y axis in the editor the door opens/closes so I think I have that set right. I've applied the script to the pivot and removed the script from the box but I'm still struggling to get it working. I think it might be a matter of getting the right physics options for one or both, not sure and no luck so far.
