Title: Elevator Question
Post by: abnormal on March 30, 2009, 12:28:59 PM

Hi, theres a lil problem with elevators..
When you're above an elevator it starts moving. Wouldn't it be possible to start its moving as lately as you touch it?

Moving this to Mapping as this is an entity question and not a bug or feature.

Use somekind of trigger or like button or something. I think that should work.

I know that I can use a button but in other games it moves simply when you touch it not when you're above it.
I first started thinking about it when I saw a new map aoe (anywhere on earth) http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=16884.0;topicseen
when someone camps flag you're not possible to get up from low non-jump way because the elevator still goes up..

If you don't make the trigger, the trigger is automatically generated, and I think it follows the entire path of the elevator. You could set a trigger_multiple right on top of the platform's lowered position and have that trigger it instead.

Thanks, I'll try it.
