zeimi Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 How can I force func_plat to return to it's starting position after moving even if there is a player standing on the func_plat. I tried setting delay but the plat was still too eager to stay where it was until player walked away from it. Elevator cannot be used to move down.

Jedi_Vogel Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Isn't there a "wait" key for func_plat as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeimi Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Nope, wait won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 You tried using trigger brushes around the edge of the func_plat (i.e. if your func_plat settles into a hole in the floor, the triggers would be laid on the edge of the hole)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge2211 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I wrote a tutorial on how to do this with Jedi Outcast. You can try that...although some people have said that they can't get it to work with func_plats in Jedi Academy, so you can try a func_door that opens down (angle -2) and has the START_OPEN flag checked instead, I've had success with that technique. Another alternative is scripting--search the forums for "elevator script" or something like that, you'll get a bunch of hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ah yes, it's your tutorial I downloaded it's neat except I didn't get it to work in JA either. I'll try it with func_door and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeimi Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 I made it work with func_door though I have some problems with calculating the correct lip value for the elevator to stop ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJedi Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 hmmmmm, for me your tutorial worked fine in JA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 The tutorial worked great to bring the lift back up again but once I got on it, it wouldn't go down again. I had to go back through the trigger, by which time, not being on the platform, it went down without me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
