I'm trying to make an elevator with 3 stops but I just can't seem to make it.

I followed many tutorials, and tried many things with multimanagers and trigger_changetarget's but the elevator just doesn't move when I press the button :(
It's so confusing I've tried this for more than 2 hours already :flail:

If someone has any experience with this please let me know how to make it :-)

Thanks for your willing to help me, but when I use WinBSP to convert your map it just crashes and it shows me this default windows error (error in application etc.)

Well, also in this tutorial the elevator has only 2 stops, and I know how to make that, but making the elevator have 3 stops is so hard. :uncertain:

I DO have an idea though. I can make some sort of panel in the elevator that lets players control the elevator themselves. (Like a panel that normally only engineers get their hands on).
I could do that for now.

Did you not listen to it.. by adding path_1 Path_2 and path_3 you can have as many stops as you like.

In the old tools I had a map that has an elevator that stops on five floors. it had five buttons.

Ye but it is very different in hammer 3.4 (the goldsource version)

I've seen your other thread about it and thanks a lot that you're looking for a way to convert these files so I can take a look how you made those, though I don't have any idea how to convert these sadly ;(
Anyways what do you mean by "old tools' or is that a really stupid question? :scared:

I use hammer though Steam for Source.. when I say old tools I am thinking of wads and the like.. Hammer does not do .Wads & .Map files any longer so for me thats old school, hence old tools.

Can you load wads & maps in your tools? If so I can zip up this map and you can take a look.

Yeah I can sorry for misunderstanding :D
Before I was kinda confused about when you said wads because I thought you meant a wad as a map file.

Anyways you can send it by email: grunt_robin@hotmail.com

Thank you very much!! :hee:

Ok I got it, When I have some time I will definitely use this as an example, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Now I can finally finish one of the hardest steps in my map.

Also, the map looks pretty nice :)

Maybe it's too late but it you still need it I could send you the 3 level elevator from my map startrek_ro. It has doors that open and close and move with the elevator. very complex setup. I could copy it out of my original .rmf.

Thanks for the offer GrimlocK!

I am not currently working on the map, but when I am again, I could certainly use it!

Muhnay sent me one as well but it had 5 stops. And it was very hard to find out how to make it so it stops 3 times. (Still, Muhnay, Thank you very much for having me a look at it)
