I've read a few tutorials to try to fix this myself, but I'm just not finding what I need.

I used the tutorial on this site for a basic up/down elevator. Only, instead of having two buttons, I have one (with the goal to make is return to start on it's own).

When the player hits the button, the button slides slowly to the left, then after "delay_before_trigger" time, it starts the elevator block moving. It moves along the correct path to the correct location, then it returns to the beginning. However, it doesn't stop back at the bottom, it immidiatly goes back to the top and loops forever.

If I jump off the block and hit the button again, after "delay_before_trigger", the elevator stops...wherever it currently is located.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to give more details?

Thanks,
Dickon...

Set path_corner flags 'Wait for retrigger'.

The button moving can be disabled (if you want) by checking the "dont move" flag.

Also, the path_corner at the bottom.. doesnt it have a flag that's like disable on pass or something to stop the lift?

Wow thanks guys. I didn't even see the "flags" tab. I set the button to "don't move" which worked. Then I set ""Wait for retrigger" on the bottom path_corner.

Awesome...thanks :D
