How do you make a elevator that will move up when charater stands on it?
*edit* darth was right... appropriate subject titles.
i suppose you could have your character walk to the elevator, animate an object so that it has its doors close, then animate a new object (objectOn) on top of the doors, or just have it part of the other animating object ( a continuation) and animate it going upwards.
- Make an object (the lift) sit in the down position.
- When the player interacts with the object (use/take/get whatever) move the character to stand on the object
- move the object and the player character up (using scripting commands) to the lift's up position
You'll need to also script in commands to make sure the elevator is in the right position to be ridden.Ã, Example, if you're at the lower level and the lift is in the up position you'll need to script in commands to lower the lift so you can use it.
Simple really.
I totally knew this thread was about making elevators work when I read that VERY descriptive subject.
If you wanted one of those elevators where you can see inside from the outside (like in posh malls) you could just draw a chartacter standing on a platform and use movecharacter :)..
