Elevator setup
Info
Schematic example of a simple elevator setup.
An elevator is a movable geometry (inside another template such as a ship or an interior) on which NPCs and the player can be moved up and down.
- There can be more than one elevator per template - adjust the names of the connections/parts/groups accordingly.
- The shown example does not have a separate button to trigger the elevator. Multiple trigger buttons are supported.
You can of course add those (to do that, remove the "trigger_interact" from the "anim_elevator_01", so that it can't be triggered by clicking directly on the platform).
The trigger buttons must be in the same group to work.
