Help noob with seesaw script

[crazyben0721]

I need helping building a seesaw. I have done two script in the attemp to make this work. None of them work very well. I tried to use SL physics.

 

integer benSwitch = 1;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
        llSetStatus(STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB, TRUE);
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if ( benSwitch == 1 )
        {
            llApplyRotationalImpulse(<0,0,20>,TRUE);
            benSwitch = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            llApplyRotationalImpulse(<0,0,-20>,TRUE);
            benSwitch = 1;
        }
    }
}

 I tried with llPassCollisions TRUE and FALSE and it was still not so good.

integer benSwitch = 1;


default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
        llSetStatus(STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB, TRUE);
        llPassCollisions( TRUE );

        
    }

    collision_end(integer num)
    {
        
        if ( benSwitch == 1 )
        {
            llApplyRotationalImpulse(<0,0,20>,TRUE);
        }
        else
        {
            llApplyRotationalImpulse(<0,0,-20>,TRUE);
        }        
        
        
    }
    
    collision_start(integer num)
    {
        if (benSwitch == 1)
        { benSwitch = 0; }
        else
        { benSwitch = 1; }
    }
    
}

 

Thank You in Advance

I have one question though. Should I avoid physics for now because I Just starting scripting in LSL.

 

I tend to come up with up with ideas that tend up to be complicated. Also I get stuck with complicated things because I like solving it.

then I'd say no, don't avoid it... just realize that physics within SL are very limited... few effective products make use of it, but plenty of interesting personal projects.
