lift up?

Post by TurnToAshes »

How can you make something liken an elevator?

When you drive on a certain height and you drive into an "elevator" it lifts you up to another level. I saw such a thing in the cataclysm rumble.

I have no clue to set it up. Can you help me out please?

Theres 2 ways to do it.


A.)Put a ramp at the level you want it to lift you to so that when you drive under the ramp it lifts. An example off the top of my head: Spaz's black diamond run.

B.) Set 2d models upward and leave them at default for model type. For an example look at Zoon's bubble rumble.

The easiest way is to use a ramp. Put an object box in your track and set it's type to 'ramp'. Then position it up at the level you want the truck to rise to, and when you drive under it, up you go. It's good to use in combination with ground boxes so you don't fall back down again.

There is another method I've seen other people use where they place a series of flat models on top of each other, but I haven't tried it and don't know all the details. Clawfford has used this but I haven't seen him around for a while.

In all cases, you should put a texture or some sort of marker at the bottom so you know where it is.

This should explain it. Have a look. It includes the txx.

We'll let kdawg demonstrate the other method [;)]
