How do i create a multi-directional elevator/lift?

Archive: 8 posts


how do i make an elevator that goes in different directions like the one in the Avolon's advanced armaments academy stage? i have no clue how to do this or if its possible to do it but i so would appreciate if anyone out there can help me out with this thanks!2011-08-15 05:51:00

tri using a follower that will detect a tag. and emit the tags. also I would use a not gate attached from a tag sencer that attaches to a anti gravity with a setting of 100% damp. Also use a gyroscope so it doesnt tilt around. I hope this helps2011-08-15 06:08:00

The story level one is quite simple I think, it's just a traveling object that reaches an invisible trigger or a certain time on a sequencer and switches to a new direction. Since you can't actually control the elevators in the story level, I imagine it's not more complex than that. Are you trying to do the same thing, or do you want the player to be able to control the elevator? If it's the latter, it'll take a Controllinator mapped to directions on the PS3 controller, a Selector, Movers, and depending on limitations of player movement, some other things (continuous directional movement along the X and Y axes but not piloted like a ship, for example). If you just want an elevator that goes a certain distance, changes direction, and goes somewhere else, that's quite easy.

Short version: it can be done.

Can you describe in more detail exactly what you want it to do?

The answer is simple. You NEED:
-one microchip
-one follower
-one selector
-one tag sensor
-some tags on invisible hologram
First place your microchip on your lift. on the microchip, put a follower that follows such and such a tag. Also put the selector on the chip, with the same number of outputs as tags that you want to place representing the path. Lastly, place a tag sensor with maximum detection range set to 0.1. connect the tag sensor to the "cycle" of the selector. place your tags, making sure the follower follows those tags. Finally, connect your selector outputs to the tags in the order you want the object to move.
(please disregard WESFUN's post, I know for a fact if that logic works, it has to be glitchey.)

yeah bro, i just wanted the one that guides you in different directions without any manual controls whatsoever. exactly like the one from the Avolon stage

what is the tag sensor for?

I'd like to add to iiavalancheii's method:

You will only need one color tag. Place each tag on a microchip and place the microchips in the locations the elevator changes direction, starts, or stops. You will only need one follower as well, set to follow the specific color tag you are using. The outputs of the selector are then connected to each of the microchips/tags in the desired order of travel. This activates only one tag at a time. The elevator/lift will follow the activated tag.

The reason for the tag sensor is for when the elevator/lift comes to a tag, it will immediately change direction, start, or stop in the exact way you want it to, as a result of cycling the selector to activate a different tag.

You may also want the first output on the selector to remain not connected to anything. When you want the elevator to begin moving, attach that sensor/switch to the second input on the selector to get the cycle going.

It's really simpler than what it seems like.

So do I make the tag sensor the same color and name as the tags on the microchips?

The tag sensor cycles through the selectors outputs. You must connect one selector output to each tag in the order you want the lift to go, and when the lift gets close to the tag, it toggles the cycle, changing which tag is active.

Yes, it is imperative that the tag sensor be the same as the tags, so it will activate.
