Elevator Entities
Overview
The elevator entity simulates a moving platform. A switch is used to control the elevator object. By using the elevator entity you can define an object as an elevator to give the player access to different floors within a building.
The Elevator and ElevatorSwitch entities can be found in the Create Object → Legacy Entities → Elevators folder.
The Elevator can work together with the ElevatorSwitch, which acts as a call/go button:
- If the platform is not at the level of the switch, the elevator will come.
- If the platform is at the level of the switch, then when you press the switch, the elevator will go back to the destination floor.
