Elevators are a bitch in the source engine. Just ask Spork

Yeah they sure are probably what I spent the majority of time on,  Expecially in a mp map they are very very breakable, so much trial and error but I finally came out with somehting that survived beta testing.  Definatly use func_tracktrain, the doors must be closed before and cannot be opened untill after moving and nothing from the outside can interfere. I think between the tracktrain, path tracks, doors and buttons I had over a dozen I/O's to make it work correctly.

Yeah so my hard drive died. Good news, though. I still have a copy of grid ready to go. I've been busy but plan on getting to finishing the map real soon. Thought I would let you guys know that it's going to get finished soonish.

its easier for me to put an elevator in GE007, than in GE:S ? There have to be something wrong

Elevators are slightly easier of you leave the door you entered, instead of having a door on each side.

-> Proof that GE007 was ahead of its time?
Maybe it's also because elevators were not used as regularly by the people that developed the Source engine or because of some other dependencies of which I'm not aware of.

Elevators are trivial when you are dealing with non-networked code.

Networking makes an elevator (and any moving platform for that matter) tricky as hell!

Yet somehow, luchador seemed to get one that is almost unbreakable 

[Luchador]

All credit goes to E-S on that elevator design, I just made the arrows and buttons haha

[kraid]

Any chance he could write up a tutorial for "creating an unbreakable elevator in source"?

[Sess1on]

A little update. Almost finished, soon .

[Jonathon [SSL]]

Looking really good, but I think there's a lot of potential for making sweet looking lights/shadows with some lightmap tweaking.

And yet, CliffyB figured it out in 1999.

sorry to necropost but i was wondering if there are any updates to when the map will be released?

also i was wondering if the map would have some cool easter eggs (like a poster of Joanna Dark or some items like Qantum of Physics,etc)

There's still hope.
With that, I level up to 007.
