Cosman Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Ok. I know you have discus it a lot but I want to make an automatic elevator. I have a 3 floor building and I need an elevator that will automatically stop for 8 sec in each floor and open the floors door (or force field) how I do this thing. Well I have seen it in Forbidden Twilight (a map for jk2). Another thing the tutorial link for elevator in page http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110416 from wedge2211 is broken I think…. (Or am I wrong?)

Codja X Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 The only thing I can suggest is to use a script. Make your lift, and then use a script to move it on the z-axis the required number of game units, use a wait command in the script with the value 8000. Put that in a loop for 3 iterations, create another loop that has the elevator going down (a negative value on the z-axis). Loop that 3 times and put those 2 loops in a big infinte loop. Don't ask me for the code as all I do to create scripts is press the buttons that look correct, but the above pseudo-pseudo-code should do the trick! I can do the theory but not the practice. Anyone out there want to explain this better? Some pseudocode: loop forever begin loop 3 times begin move platform z=512 wait (8000) end loop 3 times begin move platform z=-512 wait (8000) end end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeV1589 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Ya mis-read what he said (even though it was bad english)...he's talking about an elevator, think how the doors operate as an elevator moves and re-read his post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
