Linked doors that open and close are one of the most common nightmares, so to speak, when building in Second Life. Doors that rotate, doors that are made of more than one prim, doors that slide... We usually find ourselves looking for all kinds of scripts to set them.
The purpose of the Black Tulip Multi-Door/Drawer/Curtain Tool V2 is to offer an easy-to-use interface, so even if you have no scripting knowledge at all, just knowing how to edit linked parts, and how to edit a notecard, you'll be able to set up the doors/drawers/etc in your own objects.
The result will be a single script that will control all the doors, drawers or curtains you’ve included in your build.
Low lag linked doors, drawers and curtains made easy.

Great!
Couldn't be easier to use, I love Black Tulip scripts.
Tricky - But with patience PERFECT!
Soooo...I love Black Tulip, best on the market by far. I was having trouble finding a door script that worked with the Black Tulip Texture Changing script because it uses the "Description" field, and a lot of great door scripts need that, so they'd be incompatible. THANKFULLY, Black Tulip had a door script, so I gave it a try. I failed with the demo (mine too disappeared into the sky when I hit "play" but was able to locate it and delete it). However, I had faith in Auryn, and just bought the product anyway. It works great...but you REALLY REALLY need to ready the directions SUPER carefully on the website. The directions are not in the box, and there is no working "example" in the box. I was able to get the tester product to work that came with the purchase, but when I tried it on my mesh, nothing happened. After about 20 tries, I realized I missed one small step "renaming the doors in the NC." Once I caught that, it worked like a charm. So the blame, as always, is on me...but just know, with patience and close reading, this is a GREAT product, especially if you are working with other scripts in your build. Thanks Auryn, you are a lifesaver for us builders on SL!
Light & Efficient Script - A builder's MUST HAVE item.
I can't stress the title enough. I had made a simple kitchen bin with flipping lid that weighed in at only 1 LI. Well I thought that I had an old door rotation script that worked with linksets, but it didn't and I noticed that it raised my model's LI up to 3, not good! After searching around and asking in the LSL scripting forum I found another couple of scripts, which raised my model's LI to 2, which is fair enough, most scripts add at least 1 LI, but these last scripts were far from ideal and glitched too much.
So I came to MP to look for one and found this one by Black Tulip and given that I was impressed by their texture changer, which I had purchased recently, I bought this one. Well within 30 minutes the script was in my model, working perfectly and more astonishingly my model was now weighing in at just 1LI !!! So this script is hugely efficient. A difference in 2 LI between scripts may not seem much and probably isn't in large builds, but it is a huge difference in small builds when customers are expecting an LI of no more than 1 or 2 for a small object.
There is a huge amount of documentation attached, which some may find daunting or tedious, but I think reflects the creator's thoroughness and attention to detail as the text walks you by the hand through every stage of the process from it's basic use to it's more advanced features and there are even an example set of doors and tutorial for you to practice on before trying on your builds.
So yes, it deserves 5 stars, it is reasonably priced, it is easy to set up and it must be one if not "the" most efficient script of its kind around. As my title states, it is a builder's must have item.
Great script!
Fantastic script, the step-by-step instructions made this incredibly easy to use.
Awesome!!
This is an awesome script. I originally bought it because I thought it would allow me to link the door to the house. On the up side I can now make window shutters and double doors that open at the same time.
