I'm trying to figure out why I can;t walk up the last step. Go up, push the button, then go up again... you stop right before the catwalk.

CREDIT GOES TO A MAN ON EJOOP.COM FOR TYHE STAIR DESIGN. The room and catwalk are mine.

Just played the map, pretty cool! My only suggestion would be to make the stairs smaller (less steep and don't make such a big height difference inbetween steps)

Oh Yeah, load up your .map or .rmf so we can take a look at it in Hammer

Actually a quite common problem with rotating entities, is that their clipping doesn't always is correct with their visual appearance. Modify the stairs somewhat, make them indeed a bit less steep and well, just try out a bit. You'll be able to get it to work right with a bit of tryal and error.

I didn;t design the steps... the step module incuding the button and such were designed by some guy on ejoop.com - it's on there as a "prefab"

Ah, well, anyway...

Have you been able to fix it yet?

It was weird... I moved the catwalk down a couple units and it worked... it doesnt make any sense as gordon was able to walk up past the last step, but then the catwalk was stopping him - I didn;t have the catwalk more than a few units higher than the last step.

That few units might have made the difference then.
