I been running an Idea for an Elevator... Got it to work... should publish my work sooner or later... but I need some help... I can't make the thing comeback down... the only solution now is shot the grav lift pushin the stuff up... I just wondering ...would that get annoying or would you execpt that as a working elevator? because it only takes half a clip to get up... I am thinking of making 3 of them next to each other ..and for like an infection game you go to it or something... Zombie hotel i guess... screen shots soon also GO to the end of page 2 for sneak peak
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? Sounds interesting. In the map I'm currently working on I hve three 1-way elevators made up of only a fence box, man-cannon, and a grav lift. Stop using ... It's really annoying......
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? ...... he finding.... that annoying... What I am meanning as Elevation is a real Elevator... moves up and down... no one has made one... I was wondering... if you guys would find this a good element to a map?
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? That would be really useful, but i dont think it is possible. If you could find out how, it would be an awsome element.
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? The closest thing I've come up with is two different shafts made with corner walls (single open boxes kind of work, but you tend to get caught on the lip). One side has a grav lift and the other doesn't. Not as cool as what you want, but functional in that both sides of the "elevator" are in the same room on both floors.
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? When I did elevators, I used the fence boxes on their side going up. Then I put man cannons facing into the next one and so on. They worked quite well. Ps: that ... is REALLY annoying. Its like you can't breath properly lol. Put it in bullet points if you must.
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? you can make one with the container crates found on rat's nest and last resort You take a container crate, put it in trackers that it has to fit perfectly, put a gravlift on the side, and throw a deployable cover on top of it and the grav lift will push the deployable cover and thus the roof of the container up allowing the player(s) inside it to ascend, The elevator comes back down when the deployable cover is destroyed or the gravlift is destroyed, I don't think it would work with a forge grav lift, only portable ones tho, so the grav lift running out would be when the elevator really came down but it would be a nice element in a map, you just need to be sure to have other ways to get up, and the most simple elevator is the fence box/mancannon one an extremely annoying to do, but fully one way one is a bunch of grav lifts on teleporters, it just has to be a thin corridor and is a lot like a vent.
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? Just a thought, coudlent you use teh switch trick to like, destroy teh grav lifts? I havent used ti but ill try and find teh thread, where like, you have a fusion coil, and destroying it makes another spawn instantly somewhere else? You could have the oneto spawn just drop on teh grav lift. And place teh switch on at the top of the elevator.
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? I been trying that... but the pain is that... it gets set to one side... I will post around 2 ish some pics of this.. and link to a file share of a vid... but the problem is this... Lift B would not appear till say 180 seconds ... lift A starts at the begining... once the thing spawns... Lift b is used for the lift... ONce A is destoried B will appear... no problems... yet... Then once you want to go down... lift B Destoried... Lift B keeps apearing... even if it has less time on it... So pics soon I think this will be use full.. the reason for this... is that It works higher then a Grenade jump and it higher then the lift usually ...
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? there was a previous post about the evoulution of forge, and one of the improvements thought of would be to allow objects to time out after a set time. A feature like this would easily allow the creation of a lift, with the grav lifts just disappearing after a set time. Its not too much to ask as we can already make them appear after a set time
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? i know you can set it's time but dont you want an Elevator to go up and down? If you use a portable gravi lift it would push the Elevator (crate) up and when it dies the Elevator (crate) goes down
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? The portable lift can't get under the Objects I want to lift... i will show you more in a sec... this is going to be to a link Video... http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=16813545 As you can see how this works... I am still working on the second floor but that will be in another video... Leave me feedback on what you think...
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? thanks for the comments and help... have a working elevator... will post in a map when its done... mods if you wnat lock it up...
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? there was a topic a while ago that showd how to make containers get lifted by grav lifts. if u do this u can have it go up then have anoother gravelift aways above it that shoves it down. just a thought
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? I guess you have to wait and see what we cooked up then... By the way is any one Up to staying at a Hotel any time soon... ?(type of map i am making)
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? if you mean you want people to help you, I'm up for that GT: Turbo Gerbil604
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? why doesnt bungie make a more interactive map????? lots of two way elevators. energy bridges. fusion coil converyor belts. What happened to the good old days????
Re: Elevation? and Lifts? >StolenPoo: You make it sound easier than it is. I just put the mancannon outside and a bit farther away from the entrance, so you can drop back down. Laziness FTW!
