Top hinging window

As far as I'm aware, it doesn't matter what it is that is a fun_rotatingdoor, cos I want to make a openable window. Problem being, I want it to hinge from the top. I've put the origin along the top edge but no luck, I swung as if it didn't have a origin. So I have I got to do something special? Also, what happens with the angle setting?
Thanks.

That type of window needs to be scripted.
Make it a script_object, and insert an origin at the top where you want the hinges. call it target/window.
Give your window trigger a setthread/window pair.
In your script:
window:
self nottriggerable
self rotatexup 90
wait xx // time in seconds you want the window to stay open
self rotatexdown 90 //if you want the window to close after "xx"
self triggerable
end
You could also do a "playsound" if you want.
This is as good as I can do, because I am by no means a scripter!

you'll need self waitmove aswell, before both rotate commands
and make the window
key: targetname
value: window

I tried to something like that ages ago, but for a Hatch. Here's the post link:

Ok, that worked, thx a lot. Anyone know how the numbers in scripting (ie wait 20) relates to real time, would wait 20 make it wait for 20 seconds?

Yes, the wait times are in seconds

Oh--thanks nuggets. That was an oversight. I wrote target/window instead of targetname/window!
