Elevator

Err... have you succeeded in getting a simple elevator (without all the extra stuff like moving doors and such) to get to work? I think you've taken a too difficult elevator setup to start with.

BTW, all you need is a func_train, that starts at a path_corner. Tick the 'Wait for retrigger' flag of that path_corner, of all path_corners you use as destination points, so you have to trigger the train first before it moves on.

ya i go the "simple" elevator to work on different maps its just this one and its numerous entities is driving me nutz...but i need the doors since ur going underground (and it looks better :))

When you can get one elevator to work, you can get this one too. It does requires some logical entity-work wich can be very confusing at first. Draw it out, on paper. Make a schematic of what entity needs to be activated, and when, and what has to happen after that. It's very usefull.

I'd say, when you press the button, activate both doors, and let one of the path_corner's that they move to, fire a multimanager when the door is in place (e.g. closed). This multimanager should then target the doors and the elevator, so they move down all together.

I would advise you to break it up in simple chuncks. Maybe you're known to programming, it's like using functions for often used things.

i could probably follow the tutorial here but they left out like half of it....tell u to put in 2 corners then he shows some pics and then.."u should have 7 path_corners now" so that was a lost cause...but ill try ur way

but i dont think u can use it for counterstrike..

why is it posting all of my stuff twice....

I don't know but it seems to happen more on TWHL.

Doors need to slide open I heard you shout? Path_corners on the side should help. Oh, and the path_corners the doors initially move to shouldn't have their 'Wait for retrigger' flag set, so the doors will automatically continue to their open position.

lol ok new stupid problem...i used func_button and tryed to open the doors but instead of doors moving the buttons moved

ok i allowed uploads just incase anyone fixed it ...

Tick the buttons flag 'Don't move'. When you trigger the doors (that are func_trains), don't suspect them to slide open as doors would. Instead, you trigger the trains to go to their next path_corner. So, place path_corners so that the trains (doors) slide open.

I'm not gonna do it for you now, exams are quite stressing, and I have a contest entry to finish too, so for now you'll have to do it your own. And I think you'll learn the most of that, so, succes!

i think i got it thx

i was targetting the path_corners the whole time lol

i don't have time to dl it, but if you just have a really simple elevator (2 positions, up and down) then try using a func_plat.
