Edit: should i close the elevator to all floors except the 2 it stops at, or should i keep it
to where you can jump off at any floor while moving.

Is there a way to edit the mach/lift so it only goes up/down when someone is on it? If so, you could have the lift go slower and just hop off when its time, do you also have stairs to access each level (I would guess so since the elevator only reaches two levels) you might make the elevator have a loud rickety noise or something since It'd be the more obvious choice for someone to sneak up to another level with.
edit: put doors at each levels elevator entrance, so the doors open when the player in the elevator gets close enough or if someone wants to jump down the elevator shaft...

The way it is now, Theres a door on the lowest floor, if you stand by it, it calls the elevator.
It pings to let you know its on it way. The door opens the elevator arrives, (timing not perfect yet). The elevator only stops on top floor, but you can jump of anytime on any level. You can also walk off any level and fall down to the elevator. If you miss u fall to your death. This building will have 6 playable levels but is sopposed to be like a 56 story building.
There will be a death zone, hidden in a lower cloud cover, below the bottom floor.
There will be stairways leading to all floors.

I will be enclosing the elevator in an elevator shaft. I was thinking about closing the other floors off. The elevators are faster then stairs but might be a trap.
There are 2 elevators one to go up and one to go down.
Waiting for the elevator is boring, and possibly dangerous.

The doors work on proximity settings. If your close, it calls the elevator, when you step away the door will close and the elevator will leave.
Doors are only at entrance to elevators because of mechanics issues, the exits are open doorways.

Can I be the DoorMan for your doors?!

[Gary]

Yes, someone model a Duff man and have him stand by the doors.

I'm actually making a model of me! Is low poly and will have one bitmap covering all textures. Will be easy to inject.

[Gary]

Good luck with that, you ever model a person before?

[Remnant Samurai]

Or just model like a cut out and have the picture of DoorM4n on it.

Was thinking about doing that for a Red Vs Blue Mods involving the dudes on top of the base.

[DoorM4n]

Here ya go! After 3 hours.

[Gary]

You made that entire thing?, even low poly, it's pretty damn good.

[DoorM4n]

I didn't model it. I forgot to give credit to turbosquid. :p

[Gary]

And is that your face texture on to it? for some reason, as a 3D model, you scare me...

So your going to have ogrish to put your model next to the doors?

[DoorM4n]

Still working on shit...I can't get the hair to be right...I'll work on it. I may just cover it up with a beanie or something.

[JacksonCougar]

Not to be a pain Doorman but this is really more appropriate for the rendering thread aon.

[DoorM4n]

Whoops. Go ahead and remove them if ya'd like. I'm posting there now.

could have the elevator always moving, not just when someone is near it, so you have to wait for it to come no matter what floor you are on, and eventually it will come. have doors at each level that open on proximity, maybe lights on the elevator moving part so you can see if its coming..

You could just have it moving like you said, but have the doors open when the elevator reaches that floor.

My idea: The elevator pauses at each floor, the door opens(by animation, not proximity), waits 5 seconds, doors close then moves to the next floor, repeat.
And once the elevator reaches the top floor, it does it all again just in the opposite direction, going back down.

[socrates]

hmm, me likes your idea, but what about an elevator piece at each floor, that at a set interval moves up one level, then waits, and moves back down, all pieces moving at the same time, so to get up/down multiple levels you have to step out and wait for it to move.. (also helps cuz you can get hit while waiting)

[Ogrish]

I wish i could do that, but my skills are limited.

So it stops on first and last floor, only. Other floors are walled off from elevator.
Elevator is kind of a trap, so use at risk, but its much faster then the stairs.

Elevator trap
Lets say your chasing someone, but they reach the elevator first like so.


And give you the finger as they get away.
But then you go close the the door recalling the elevator.


And busted!

I can model you a building. I don't really like the visual part of that map.

This makes me want to make Halo 1 blockmods so badly!!!!!!!

I need a lot of model work done so dont make any offers you dont have time to back.
If you would really like to help, it'd be fine with me.
