Which is the best elevator ever mapped for gldsc? I mean real elevators not funny elevators or sci-fi elevators. Has it been done?

There's the one in Blue Shift that's pretty good. Closing doors and everything.

Dozens? Probably thousands, actually...

I think I know how to spot HL players at my college. There are some who like to abuse elevators.

I accidentally smashed the elevator doors with a cart filled with 400 lbs (181.437 kg) of soda once. Shit broke.

I like some of the elevators HL1 has. Mostly the train car ones because they're so involving. Also the intro sequence is amazing because of how autonomous it is. That would be an interesting map idea wouldn't it? (wink-wink)

I am making an elevator like a real one. I have 4 floors and player can chose which floor to go to from any floor. It's my most complex entity setup yet and it will work in multiplayer as well by blocking the buttons when the elevator is in use.
But one thing I am thinking about is how to get the elevator to go to a sselected path_corner. Is that possible? Because elevators are set to one path_corner. Or if there is any other way to make it work?

I was thinking about having 12 elevators and depending on what floor player wants to go to from which floor I make that specific elevator teleport there and teleport out the old one from of the shaft. But that would be a lot of work and maybe entity overload.

I believe you use a trigger_changetarget. I can't help you to be more specific. One of those types of elevators, with functioning doors, is something I've always wanted to build, but func_trains and me have a mutual distrust of each other, as they never seem to work properly for me.
