Does anyone know how to attach a sign to a door? besides adding it as a texture?

I want the sign on the gate to move with it when player opens the door, is that possible?





BTW this is my MMA fighting ring, I set my female character inside as an enemy and boy is she tough to beat lol
I set her heath at 500, my at 2500 and yet she can defeat me lol

For an animated door this isn't really feasible, but for a physically moving door, i.e. one using the sliding_door or rotating_door behaviours then is would be possible to have a behaviour that links one entity to another and moves it as the other one moves.

When I get a moment or two I will knock something up.

@ AmenMoses thank you so much and that would be great. I will look at the type of behavior that I am using with this door, right now there is a thunderstorm going on where I live

Attach to the sign and link the sign to the door.

Make sure the sign is set as physics off.

Thank you @AmenMoses
Here is a screenshot and it works great except for a space between the door and sign when it opens lol but it looks great and does what I needed it to do

try remove the animation calls from door_rotate.lua

seems much more accurate then

The door rotate script was originally written for a door that had an animated door handle, not sure how it got dumped into MAX as a generic script.

thank you both @smallg and AmenMoses

@AmenMoses Door Rotate is used to make doors that have no animation to move open and close in-game.

I also figure out that it is an offset issue that is making the sign have a space between the door in-game, it's no big deal. It works and to me, that is extremely important. I try to attach a lamp to my sliding-down wall and it was across the room in the game but in the editor, it was on the wall, I think your code is not the problem but max is right now with all the issues going on.

In fact, I got to write to Lee because a wall that I brought in from Sketchfeb shake when physics is on but is fine when physics is off lol another bug lol

Yes, it is a bug in MAX, there is something weird going on under the covers with the position and /or orientation of entities isn't being reported correctly to the Lua functions. There are several issues raised on it but no indication whether they are being worked on.

Basically it seems to work ok as long as you don't rotate the entities.

Aha, I did have a slight math issue in the script.

Try this one.

Thank you again @AmenMoses

It works perfectly, many thanks
