Need help modifying a script

[Maitimo]

I have a sliding door script below. The problem I have with it, is that it moves from fully closed to fully open in an instant.  How do I get it to slide slowly, in increments of, say, 0.2m per sec?  What lines do I need to add and where do I put them?

//How far in meters to travel in each direction.  Two or all three can be used for angled movement
//NOTE: when linked, this is relative to the root prim
//Positive = move north, negative = move south
float       NorthSouth = 0.0;
//Positive = move east, negative = move west
float       EastWest = 1.0;
//Positive = move up, negative = move down
float       UpDown = 0.0;

//The amount in seconds to stay open, set to 0 to not autoclose
float       Timer = 15.0;

//Sound to play on open, either a UUID or a name in the door contents
//if a name, it must be exact. Leave at "" for no sound
string      OpenSound = "cb340647-9680-dd5e-49c0-86edfa01b3ac";

//Volume to play open sound, 0.0 is same as no sound, 1.0 is max
float       OpenVol = 1.0;

//Sound to play on close, either a UUID or a name in the door contents
//if a name, it must be exact. Leave at "" for no sound
string      CloseSound = "e7ff1054-003d-d134-66be-207573f2b535";

//Volume to play close sound, 0.0 is same as no sound, 1.0 is max
float       CloseVol = 1.0;

            }else{

        Open = 0;
    }
}

Unfortunately, for a linked sliding door you can't get truly smooth movement. but you can move a thing in small increments until it's where you want it to be.

// linked sliding door script.
// Quistess Alpha 2022.

vector  gDelta = <1.0,  0,  0>; // x,y,z distance to move with respect to the prim 
// (edit linked, snap-local and check the directions of the red(x) green(y) and blue(z) arrows)
integer gSteps    = 28; // how many steps does it take to get from closed to open?
float   gTimeMove = 7.0; // how many seconds does it take to get from closed to open?

float gTimeStayOpen = 15.0; // how long to stay open, 0 for indefinitely.

string      OpenSound = "cb340647-9680-dd5e-49c0-86edfa01b3ac";
string      CloseSound = "cb340647-9680-dd5e-49c0-86edfa01b3ac";

// script managed variables:

integer isOpen = FALSE;

open_door(integer open) // let open = 1 to open, 0 to close.
{   if(isOpen!=open)
    {   isOpen=open;
    }else
    {   llOwnerSay("Warning: attemting to set door state to current state.");
        return; //do not open the door if it is already open, do not close if already closed.
    }
    if(open)
    {   if(OpenSound) llPlaySound(OpenSound,1.0);
        llSetTimerEvent(gTimeStayOpen);
    }else
    {   if(CloseSound) llPlaySound(CloseSound,1.0);
        llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
    }
    open = (2*open) -1; // if open is 0, set it to -1.
    vector pos = llGetLocalPos();
    rotation rot = llGetLocalRot();
    vector delta = (gDelta*rot)*open;
    
    integer loop=1;
    for(;loop<=gSteps;++loop)
    {   llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[PRIM_POS_LOCAL,pos+(delta*loop)]);
        llSleep(gTimeMove);
        //llOwnerSay("tick");
    }
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {   // convert global variables to more useful formats.
        gDelta = gDelta/gSteps;
        if(gTimeStayOpen) gTimeStayOpen+=gTimeMove;
        gTimeMove  = gTimeMove/gSteps;
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        open_door(!isOpen);
    }
    timer()
    {   
        open_door(0); // close door. (also sets timer to 0).
    }
}

Or so should work as a basic example, making a version that lets you shut it mid-opening or open mid-closing would be a tad more complicated.

correctly handle the case when gTImeStayOpen is set to 0.

                Pos = llGetLocalPos();
                if(OpenSound != "") llTriggerSound(OpenSound, OpenVol);
                llSetPos(Pos + Offset);
                llSetTimerEvent(Timer);
            }else{

                llSetPos(Pos);
                llSetTimerEvent(0);
            }

See this part? llSetPos is what the script uses to open/close the door. Instead of just calling llSetPos once with the final destination, you would need a loop that uses llSetPos multiple times with only a short distance. (Calculating the offset or time-to-open is the trickiest part.)

Also, llSetPos causes the script to wait 0.2 seconds before doing anything else, so you would end up with a very slow door. You can use llSetRegionPos instead, which works exactly the same but without waiting all the time.

I did it by adding a "# steps" factor, then dividing each of the "total x movement" and "total y movement" by "# steps" to get the "incremental" x and y movement for each timer event.

When the final X or Y position is within 0.01 (or whatever you choose) for that direction, you stop moving in that direction. When both are within the 0.001 (or whatever you choose), you stop the timer.

Storing both the start, end, and even a "third" X/Y position, this worked pretty well for going in either direction.

Sorry, mostly Foruming from phone and would have to login and search for my script.

This works perfectly, thank you Quistess.

Sorry to the rest of you, I don't understand anything of what you said or how to turn that information into a script. But this one is exactly what I needed.
