the escalator script i used, only needs 1 thing editting, but it was supposed 2 b 4 wacko's shop level :( never got round 2 it though SORRY!

main:
$dummy hide //hides the step that is drawn as the "master step"
$dummy notsolid

level.modelstep = "*29"
level.stepspeed = 0.5

level.stepmovecount = 0 //counts the number of steps moved
level.stepset = 0 //counts the number of sets of steps

level.Anorth = ( 0 16 0 );level.Aeast = ( 16 0 270 );level.Asouth = ( 0 -16 180 );level.Awest = ( -16 0 90 );level waittill prespawn

level waittill spawn

wait 3 //to delete

iprintlnbold "is it working" //to delete

thread escalator_prep (level.stepset + 1 ) (1000 148 264) level.Awest 18;wait (1.25 + (level.stepsnumber * 0.05))
thread escalator_prep (level.stepset + 1 ) (912 148 264) level.Anorth 18 //position direction stepsnumber setnumber
end
// Moving Escalator !!!1st release!!!

//credit also goes to WACKO for escalator mapping :D

/*this will spawn the steps from 1 previously made otherwise moving

right click, save target as

it's just got a couple of things to amend, but if you want to finish it off, then the ball is in your court :D

1. need to establish escstepposition[1] [2] etc... rather than just esstepposition
2. needs variables to find new posistions rather than prefound grid references
3. needs the move up script inputted
4. north south east and west direction for each step to be defined

if only i had more time :(

the link is not working :cry:
all it does is a 'internal error' in a 'test_escalator.htm'

script looks rather confusing too me, but i might find out once what it does...

thanks! 8)

did you see the 'eight bracket', this could become lethal to someone's code, as you enter 8 and ), in the forum it's 8) and after copy/paste in a textfile it's gone! In your script, though, it's just in remarks!
