Well, i have an elevater (well around 4 in my map) wich got a button on the upper side and on the lower side wich trigger the thing (its a func_traiN) but if the second button is hit, while the train is in progress, it stops moving.
how can i avoid this?

wnn

check the flags in the corner_ entity, if im not wrong there's smth about it there

Pithlit

no, none of the flags in the path_corner work <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

brute_force

Set the time before reset on each button about as long as the elevator takes to move to the upper/lower level. (t = v/s, right? (I never was good at math) <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

Thats is ok for someone waiting on the floor you just left, bu someone on the arriving floor could press the button and it would stop the train.

Oh yeah, good point. Well, how about a multi_manager triggering a multisource which is the button's master, making the button not work until the elevator has stopped moving? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Why not just use one entity for both buttons? Then, no matter which button is pressed, the other one will automatically be disabled because they're both the same button (if you see what I mean <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

Mhh, one large entity would,´t solve the problem, since you could activate the thing then, even away from the buttons.
but will the compiler take it as one entity if i gour the two buttons first? and then set them to an entity?

And how does this multimanager workß i have no idea how to use this :/

LoDwkeef

eh, just make 2 new brushes(or however many buttons you want) and while selecting them both just tie to entity and save yourself the hassel of trying to combine them. Thats my advice anyway, if you want a good site on doing this stuff I found a good one(not ns but basic things dealing with all mods)

KFS fixed the same problem in ns_nothing by turning the elevators into func_door instead of func_train... trains can be stopped, door can't.

Wolv

Isn't the problem with func_doors that they will either move back up when blocked or instagib it's victim, whereas a func_train will continue trying to go down until the blockade has been removed.

Guess I'll stay away from that ns_nothing elevator as an onos until I know for sure.

If a func_door or func_door_rotating has its' "Delay before close" to -1, it will not go back I believe. However, if it is a value other than -1, it'll go back after causing the damage. So even if you're killed by the door then, it'd go back.
