Elevator Damage

[Cbielak]

[i]Basicaly ive made a map where there is an trap using an elevator (using func > door). What i want to do is when the elevator comes down and theres a person under it, it would do damage and instantly kill them. The elevator works well but when a person goes under the elevator goes through them and when they get shot the elevator doesnt go back up by itself.[/i] Please help me im almost done my map and i wana finish before i go away for the summer! Pease out.

Is the Elevator a glorified door?

You'll need to do some scripting. Make a trigger for the ground below the elevator -- must not touch people using the elevator. Give it a targetname, like "kill_trigger". The func_door elevator will also need a name, like "ele1".

In the script, have the trigger check to see if a player is touching it and the elevator at the same time, and kill them when it is true. You could also have the dead player drop into a box below -- so he will not touch the elevator anymore. Although, if the hole was deep enough, the player whould die from the fall.

Ty, but im new and not realy good at scripting can you give a test script of what i need?

I don't have time to try it, but what if you put a "clip all" under the floor of the elevator ?

And would it take

key/health
value/1000

If its a door give it the key/value dmg/100 that should kill the player if they try to stop the lift with their body.
