Rotation not rotating the way I want it to

[EQINOX Corbin]

What I am trying to do is build a mesh aircraft with a mesh turret on top that can rotate from facing forward 180 to face back now  the script I have  works perfectly  when I link the mesh turret to a standard prim and then put the script in the now root standard prim and then ware it and this works  however I am now trying to make it part of the vehicle so people  don't have to ware this part.  However when I link the mesh turret  with the mesh build and place the rotation script in the turret it nolonger rotates correctly instead or rotating horizontally it rotates vertically.

 

Here is a very basic pic of what is happening  and what I want.

#1 is what is happening when I link the  2 parts in the image  its as if your looking at the front of the build

#2 this is how I need it to move when  both parts are linked  in this pic  you are looking  down on the build with the black dot being  the front of the build.

The scrip

The script i am useing is the following;

// The default values are specified below. 
// Please note that these get overridden by reading from the 
// notecard, "Door Values."
float angle = 90.0;
integer numAngles = 20;
float timeOpen = 15.0;
integer closeAutomatically;

// Variables necessary for door operation.
rotation baseRot;
vector basePos;
vector scale;


// Keys for reading notecards
key readAngle;
key readNumAngle;
key readTime;
key readShut;

// variables indicating the door states
integer open;
integer changingDoor;

// Variables for listening for the close command
integer channel;
integer listenControl;

toggleDoor() {
    integer doorSwing;
    rotation rotThrough;
    rotation theBase;

    if(changingDoor) {
        llSay(0,"The door is currently in operation. Please try again shortly.");
        return;
    }

    //llSay(0,(string)llGetLinkNumber());
    if( (llGetLinkNumber() != LINK_ROOT) && ( llGetLinkNumber() != 0) ) {
        theBase = llGetRootRotation();
    } else {
        theBase = ZERO_ROTATION;
    }
    changingDoor = TRUE;
    if (open) {
        // close the door.
        open = FALSE;
        for (doorSwing=numAngles;doorSwing>=0;--doorSwing) {
            rotThrough = llEuler2Rot(
               <angle*PI/180.0*((float)doorSwing)/((float)numAngles),0.0,0.0>);

                    <.2*scale.x,0.0,0.0>*baseRot]);

any help to get theis rotateing  corectly would be great as it starting to frustraite me >.<

Well, since it is getting baseRot from that prim's local rotation, just add an extra rotation to it.  You want to rotate the local X axis vertical, so (....doing this in my head .... ) this ought to work......

baseRot = llEuler2Rot(<0.0,PI/2,0.0>*llGetLocalRot();

Thing is, you are using an overkill door script for a job that really doesn't need all of its baggage.  It would be much better to write yourself a short script that handles the movement instead of modifying this monster.  It's easy to get lost in this thicket of code.

no kidding  its alot of code tho some of it i need  as its linked to a  hud  for control
