are you asking for an elevator that launches you up?

yeah, and that will make me land on the top floor, Ive seen some before

not possable
back in RTB1.45 (or whatever)
they were possible
now they aren't
Man there is so much more that the torque engine is capable of, why aren't we utilizing them?

the one swollow mentioned is possible in the current RTB, and v14, Ive seen them with those versions


There are a couple of diffrent ways to make elevators, the two main ones are the velocity and the setplayertransform.
Setplayertransform elevator
First you need to name each floor ie Floor1, Floor2
To go from floor one to floor two use
Quote
Onactivate-Floor2-SetplayerTransform-player-[]
And to go down you would just need to switch the floor2 to floor 1
Quote
Onactivate-Floor1-SetplayerTransform-player-[]
Velocity elevators
The events for this will vary depending on how far apart the floors are, you also will need to name the floors and this one is more complicated.
To go from floor1 to floor2
Quote
Onactivate-floor2-Disappear-2
Onactivate-player-addvelocity-10
To go down from floor2 to floor1
Quote
Onactivate-0floor2-disappear-2
Overall the setplayer transform is usually easier however if i'm right you need to download the events for it so check in addons if you don't have it by default.
*For the addvelocity 10 I'm just guessing, its been a while since i've used velocity elevators so it might be a little off.

Sooner or later Badspot is going to get tired of all these elevator add-on requests.

I don't even think Trader is working on them anymore.

WRONG.

We have elevators right now.

while stuffty movers != elevators:

   print "No."


No.

stuffty movers are better than nothing. That's all we have, and the bricks can't work for every possible scenario.

What if you want a platform moving side-to-side that players have to jump on?
What if you want a realistic(ish) moving elevator?
