1) Setup Guide
WARNING
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO MAKE CHANGES TO A LINKED BUILDING OR PART OF THE DOORS WHILE THE DOORS ARE MOVING OR OPEN.
ONLY MAKE CHANGES WHILE THEY ARE STOPPED.
Each Overhead Door has One set of Guide Rails and Six Door Panels: A through F.IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO MAKE CHANGES TO A LINKED BUILDING OR PART OF THE DOORS WHILE THE DOORS ARE MOVING OR OPEN.
ONLY MAKE CHANGES WHILE THEY ARE STOPPED.
There are 4 different Panel types: Solid, Window, Freight, Base.
The primary way to control the HD Overhead Door is with the S2 Switches.
They also support Indicator Lights and a Receiver Box for Remote Controls.
The HD Overhead Door box that was delivered to you contains four pre-assembled sets:
- - HD Overhead Door Commercial
- - HD Overhead Door Freight
- - HD Overhead Door Basic Setup
- - HD Overhead Door Advanced Setup
Once you are familiar with how everything works you can explore further and assemble new Door Configurations.
1.1 Basic Setup
HD Overhead Doors can be linked together to create a Basic Setup.
All doors within the same linkset need to have unique Door-IDs.
You have to make sure that the root prim remains one of the Guide Rails.
The root prim is the prim that was selected last when linking a selection of prims together.
It has a yellow outline while all child prims have a blue outline.
The access to all doors will be automatically restricted to Owner and Group members only.
The group used is the one that the whole object is set to.
The Receiver Box is used as an easy way to use remote controls to open or close the HD Overhead Doors.

INFO
Please note that you can not use Advanced Mode and the Receiver Box at the same time.
If you use the Advanced Setup then please use the Script API in order to enable the use of Remote Controls.

If you use the Advanced Setup then please use the Script API in order to enable the use of Remote Controls.
1.2 Advanced Setup
If linked to a building, the root prim of the building must contain the '*HD Access Control' Script.
The use of the control script allows for more advanced settings for both access and interaction.
A notecard is required to change the default settings. You can set a Script API channel, general access permissions and define a whitelist of avatars.
The following settings are possible:
Please make sure that each door within the linkset has a unique Door-ID.
You can also link switches and the garage indicator lights as needed.
Once done please copy the '*HD Access Control [Version-Number]' into the root prim of your linkset.
To use custom settings please also copy the 'Configuration Notecard' into the root prim of the linkset.
Open the notecard and make adjustments to the settings as needed.

The following settings are possible:
-
ACCESS = GROUP
> sets the general access, can be OWNER, GROUP or ANYONE -
AVATAR = Lares Carter
> adds a single avatar to the whitelist, use multiple lines to add several avatars
> avatars can be entered via username or legacy name, display names can not be used
> avatars without last name can be entered with or without the default Resident last name
-
API = -4864231
> sets the Script API Channel -
RELAY = -5864231
> sets the Relay API Channel
Please make sure that each door within the linkset has a unique Door-ID.
You can also link switches and the garage indicator lights as needed.
Once done please copy the '*HD Access Control [Version-Number]' into the root prim of your linkset.
To use custom settings please also copy the 'Configuration Notecard' into the root prim of the linkset.
Open the notecard and make adjustments to the settings as needed.
2) Door-ID and Group-ID
2.1 Door-ID
Each HD Overhead Door is identified by its Door-ID. This can be any number between 1 and 100000.
If there is more than one door in a linkset then each door needs to have a unique Door-ID set.
Please make sure that each panel that belongs to the same HD Overhead Door has the same Door-ID set in its description.
Once all panels are properly setup you can use the Door Menu to easily change the Door-ID and all panels will update accordingly.
The guide rail prim has just the Door-ID set as description.
There are 6 panels for each HD Overhead Door. From top to bottom they have the suffix A to F.
The Panel Base always needs to be the bottom one.
You can put the other available panels in any order and arrangement you want.
If the top panel is a Panel Solid or a Panel Window and no Display# has been defined then the Door-ID will be displayed on the top left of it.
Only the first Three digits of the Door-ID can be displayed on the top panel.
You can set the Display Number to None if you do not wish to have any number visible.
Example:
If there is more than one door in a linkset then each door needs to have a unique Door-ID set.

Example:
Your set the Door-ID for your HD Overhead Door to 24 on the guide rails prim.
The first (top) panel has the description set to: 24A
The second one will be 24B. Then the next ones 24C, 24D, 24E and 24F.
The last panel of a door should always be a Panel Base which has the bottom liner and a different hinge and roller configuration.

2.2 Group-ID
Additional to the Door-ID you can also set a Group-ID for each HD Overhead Door.
This can be any number between 1 and 100000. Each HD Overhead Door can only belong to one group at the same time.
The Group-ID can be used to control more than one HD Overhead Door simultaneously.

3) Options
3.1 Auto-Close Time
You can setup an Auto-Close Time for your HD Overhead Door. The auto-close time is given in minutes.
Just add your desired amount of time to the description of the Guide Rail.
Example:
Just add your desired amount of time to the description of the Guide Rail.
Example:
Your HD Overhead Door has the Door-ID 24 and you want to set the auto-close time to 10 minutes.
Then the description of the guide rail would be: 24, 10min
Then the description of the guide rail would be: 24, 10min
3.2 Speed Adjustment
You can modify the movement speed of your HD Overhead Door. The speed adjustment is given in percent.
Just add your desired amount of adjustment to the description of the Guide Rail.
Possible values are 10% up to 500%.
Example:
Just add your desired amount of adjustment to the description of the Guide Rail.
Possible values are 10% up to 500%.

Then the description of the guide rail would be: 24, 200%
Then the description of the guide rail would be: 24, 200%
3.3 Sensor Light
The HD Overhead Door is equipped with a Sensor Light that acts as Safety Guide to detect possible obstructions.
It is mounted approximately one half meter above the ground.
If the light beam is blocked then any closing door will be immediately stopped and forced to open again to avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Additionally an open door will not close while the light beam is blocked and a buzzing sound will be emitted if a switch is activated.
The Sensor Light can be deactivated for maintenance and debugging purposes.

5) Validation Process
The HD Overhead Door relies on the link numbers of the door panels.
Every time the building is edited by linking or unlinking that order can possibly change.
Every time the linkset is modified the doors will be halted and the guide rail prim will switch to a red color.
The doors will automatically validate once a full minute has passed. The owner can also trigger a manual validation by clicking on the guide rails.
A validation is required after one of the following was changed:
- link order of the building
- local position or rotation
- size of the guide rails
- description of the guide rail
If a change in the setup fails to register properly you can simply unlink and relink one of the door panels.
An Indicator Light will only be recognized after a successful validation took place.

The Script API will accept commands for the doors if the owner of the sending object has access to the door.
The basic format is: Command @ Door-ID
Command can be: OPEN, CLOSE. STOP or TRIGGER
OPEN - will open the door
CLOSE - will close the door
STOP - will stop any movement
TRIGGER - will stop the door if it is moving, otherwise start inverse movement
Example:
You set your Door-ID to 24.
You set the Script API to channel -4864231.
You use the following script line: llSay(-4864231,"OPEN@24");
It will cause the HD Overhead Door with the ID 24 to start opening.
