If LSL is like C, the operator for checking equality is ==, not =. (Yup, checked with the LSL wiki.) That means the then clause will always be taken. Wish I had a nickel for every time I did that when I started coding in C.

Now…once that’s corrected, there’s another issue, namely that it’s not a good idea to do equality comparisons with floating point numbers, because the two values will almost never be equal, so that you’ll switch from always taking the then clause to always taking the else clause. You’ll need to rethink how you make that decision.

There are only two things you can modify like that the prim the script is in or the object as a whole.

You have three options:
1) You can make the object a ‘multiple object’ object by not linking them. But then you’ll have to figure out autorez or one of the other ‘multiple related objects’ rezzing systems.

2) Reduce the rotating portions to single prims.

3) Coordinate the rotating by messaging between various scripts in the various prims.

There is a reason why doors that open and close in pre-fab houses are single prims :)
