    [noparse]Well, I didn't know where to put this, but it is a working elevator! And I know these have been made before, but this is my design. I am trying to make a more complex one and then I will make the map to go with it. In the meantime, anyone can use this, just give credit. And if you need it somewhere else, set some room aside on your map and I can come make one for you, just PM me/ send me a message on XBL... So here you go:

    Map Description
    Well, this is a working elevator (as you can tell.) What's new about this design (compared to others I have seen) is that this one only goes up once you enter the elevator. Also, you have to wait for it to come back down (20 seconds, I think), just like a real elevator. I am working on a more complex one to use in a map, but everyone is welcome to use this in your map. IF you need it somewhere else in one of your maps, send me a PM/ message on XBL and I can make one for you... I'll tell you how it works below, but now, some screenshots!

    EDIT: Forgot to thank Ferretness and all the H3Artifacers...

    Here's how it works:
    • You walk up to the chute.
    • YOu walk on to the crate.
    • The crate has a custom power-up on it.
    • Custom power-ups hold the crate in place until it is picked up.
    • Since the crate is no longer held down, the gravity lift (under it the whole time) shoots it up the chute.
    • A mancannon under the bridge shoots out a 20 sec. respawning fusion coil.
    • The fusion coil destroys the grav lift, bringing the crate back into position.
    • Everything automatically resests.

    Hope you enjoyed it!

    Unfourtanetly, once it is used, anyone who goes underneath is completely trapped eh? I would reccomend using two crates on top of one another instead of one. That way when theyre active, noone can go inside.

    Hmmmm? Like this?:
    ______
    | 2 __|
    |____|
    ----- Telporter (to hold it down)
    | 1 __|
    |____|
    ^^^ Grav Lift



    That might work... but does the gravity lift go through the crate with the same amount of power? I don't tink it does...

    I dnt think it would. I'd done something similar but I had a fence panel over the grav lift so you coulnd't go under. But i didnt have the mechanism to reset it (the fusion coil). The fence panel would stop the debris from the fusion coil making the box land at a funny angle that can make it hard to get into.
    Also another fusion coil would probably be better since the 1 doesn't always blow up the grav lift when I looked at it.

    I think I might map a map around this idea, but i'll be sure to give you all due credit in the post.

    actually they cant go underneath because the grav lift blows them up.

    very technical. I like the everything resetting instead of a long wait time, I can see this as a very good mini game map and so good luck to you and this elevator has a lot of potential

    Sweet, this is the first automatic elevator I have seen so far. I do recall seeing this idea in a thread on Fh somewhere... Anyways, nice work on this one, I'm going to try to incorporate this into a map I'm going to make if it is ok with you.
