Time.deltatime fail and how can i apply my public GameObject other;

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to apply a smooth door open via switch (multiple doors at once with the one switch). First problem is the swing. i have to click the door repeatedly to get it all the way. Second problem i can seem to find a way to attach the, public GameObject other;, properly so i can use the script for multiple doors/switches with out editing. Here's what i have

 public class DoorRotate : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private float smooth = 2f;
     bool dooropen = true;
     private float open = -90f;
     private float closed = 0f;
     public GameObject other;
 
     void OnMouseDown()
     {
         if (dooropen == false)
         {
             transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, open, 0) * Time.deltaTime * smooth);
         }
         else if (dooropen == true)
         {
             transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, closed, 0) * Time.deltaTime * smooth);
         }
     }
 }

Any Help is greatly appreciated

You need to update the rotation per frame. Something like this:

 float toRotation;

 void OnMouseDown()
 {
     if (dooropen)
     {
         dooropen = false;
         toRotation = closed;
     }
     else
     {
         dooropen = true;
         toRotation = open;
     }
 }

 void Update()
 {
     transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, Quaternion.Euler(0f, toRotation, 0f), Time.deltaTime);
 }

For 2nd problem, if you want to open/close other doors. Try a public function:

  public void SwingDoor() {
       OnMouseDown();
  }

  other.GetComponent<DoorRotate>().SwingDoor();
