Not sure how lifts are supposed to work exactly in FPSC - seems to me they either go up or down - not both.

Anyone help with this :

I want a (single) lift to go automatically to the level a player is located on. i.e. go to lift base if the player is there - go to lift top if the player is there. (In between well forget that - thats asking to much).

I have scripted a switch to work with lift that I can call a lift to player position, but thats not what I want - I could get a workaround using the switch idea and cheat but again not whats wanted and is open to flaws.

A simple script which does whats wanted would be best (less to cause probs).

I have tried with varying amounts of success to achieve this - go to player level auto lift thing but can only get it to go one way - up or down, not both. i.e. I have the lift so that when the player gets on it the lift goes up and when he steps off it returns to the base from whence it came ready to go up again. Whay I need is for it to - work in both directions \"A two way functioning auto lift\"

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes lifts go up and will go back down if the player gets back on at that level - and vice versa will take a player down and go back up if he gets back on. Thats not what I have said or am looking to achieve. If you read my posts.....

What I am looking for is :


If the player is at a level above a lift platform it automatically goes up to where the player is and if the player is at a level below where the lift platform is it goes down to where the player is. Effectively it goes to collect the player - this is nothing to do with the player stepping on the platform. Its like in real life when you call a lift to a particular floor you may be on in a building via a button press - just I dont want the buttons or switches.

i.e. Lift platform automatically moves to player level

FPSC does not support that by default. You have an up lift or a down lift whichever you use the lift waits at the level the player gets off until the player gets back on before it will move to its original position - not whats wanted.

But thanks for your comment.

uman, uman, uman...

it is a joke, rather funny in the right situations...

If you shoot the lift, it will drop you to your grave, or tomb...

I updated to get that other part working, or should work... as I said, scripting changed in versions...

No luck,

I cant get those to move the platform at all.

If you promise not to laugh I can post the script I have made up that partially achieves the objective and see if you can improve it?

your suppose to hit enter to change directions...

also, the "stop at other places" may (don't kid yourself merranvo, IS) be causing errors...

Latter... possibly posted on my site (I can't access this at my school)
