I make me my own elevator and use Setplayertransform. Much better than kalphiter's lousy elevators.

The elevators are static shapes, not interiors.
I doubt there is much of a difference though.
But I am not a modeler so I don't really know.
yes i do but its not like you will ever know mwahuhuhuhuhu

It's a very big difference

That is true, but if you make elevator "rooms", then use setplayertransform to tele from one room to another, it has a more realistic feel than a platform physically moving up and down where you can see the walls moving.

Except you can't properly teleport vehicles which are they only good uses for elevators anyways.

Bump. Please, I can't work on many builds as they have complex elevator events that'd be lost :(

Setvehicletransform. It exists.

I've used elevator "rooms" as you call it before and frankly I just like the Kalph-style elevators more. If I thought using setplayertransform was a better option I would have just used it from the start.

Anyway, trying out jes00's file.

EDIT: They work perfectly. Many thanks to jes00

I agree that depending on the situation, moving elevator brick's work, such as a clear tube that extends very high where only a moving elevator can create a good effect, but otherwise for hotels, skyscrapers, and what not, a good looking, well designed elevator is better.

Also, can you post a pic of jes00's elevator, unless it's just kalph's elevators fixed.
