could someone help me out with this script\editing

[Adny]

In the level editor you only need 2 things for this to work:

static objects>machine>elevator
entities>special>elevator_wall01


Before I continue, I should tell you how it works. The actual elevator stands still (it is a static object), and the wall (which is a very large wall if you see it in the elevator) moves up or down, using a very specific script function. The elevator is a lie.

The function to use is:

SetMoveObjectStateExt(string& asName, float afState, float afAcc, float afMaxSpeed, float afSlowdownDist, bool abResetSpeed);


If you want the exact speed of the elevator used in the original game, you can use:

SetMoveObjectStateExt("Name_Of_Wall", 1, 2, 0, 0.2f, true);


To sell the effect that the elevator's moving, you can use particle systems to create sparks where the elevator connects with the wall and various sound effects.

Hope that helped.
