    Well im making a really good hotel map on foundry.In the lobby im making an elevater but theres a problem with it.I want to make an elevater to go up and stop at the first floor then if you want go up to the next floor.I got an idea to put a pallet to stop the crate and then if you want to go to the next level brake it but I wanna see if you guys have any other ideas.

    From what I can tell, your idea is not possible. G043R made a timed elevator, but that's different.

    How exactly is the pallet held up, then? And if you're on the crate, wouldn't you get smashed into the pallet?

    I do... I have made an elevator thread, but lost it. It is somewhere...

    Okay, well, here's my idea. You could have the elevator set up like mine will be (I should post it soon...) and at each level, there is a floating custom power-up merged into the back wall. The crate that is used as the platform is stopped by it, so when you pick it up, you go to the next level... IT would work, but I am having trouble on even a 1-story controlled one...

    Also, WEWT! PArty time! I have 1000 posts!

    OKay, I couldn't find my thread, but here is my post:

    O.K, this is kind of confusing and i've never done it but i can see it working.
    It is basically the same as your idea with the pallets, but if there was a large opening you could make it so you jump on top, where there is another grav-lift. I've confused myself now but basically for three floors there would be three grav-lifts.

    It looks like it might work but with a grave lift it wouldnt stay stedy it would be going up an down and would fall off.

    maybe you can have a grav lift on the ground ( the one u can pick up) with a pallet and then deploy the lift infront of the pallet ( while standing on it) and u go up.

    note: sry if it is confusing but it works good 4 me so i recommended it.

    There have been countless times where I wished I could make a decent elevator for a map I'm making... but none ever come to mind. Obviously the use of a grav lift is imperative, but I can never get it to work well. Someone please come up with a legitimate solution to this... I'll be waiting impatiently. So far I've only seen one idea that could work well. Hopefully there will be better forge options to explore this with on the next map pack.
