that's a good first step, but you want to make a device_machine. you'll probably need a script too. just take the elevator from b40 as an example and make you own model/animation graph.
a lot of it's easy to figure out but feel free to post problems.

btw, elevators, devices, dont sync on multiplayer

i have a feeling he knew that. though it is the devices controlling a proper elevator that don't sync.

if it was posible to make a physical part of the map, perhaps as a scenery model, move on a TIMED bsis, would that work?

any scenery animated that u supposed to walk on, or device cannot sync

ya i know it wont sync on multiplayer and i need it for a huge singleplayer level we are working on. What i really want to know is how to make a control panel and then get it working. will i have to record the animation in the exact spot in 3dsmax in my map or do i record it and then place the scenery in sapien and align it so that when it goes down it gets to the right spot?

their are a couple ways to do it, take down the co-ordinates of your elevator relative to the map maby? I've found at least 5 ways but i use blender so my way wouldn't work for you. try modeling the elevator in your map then separating it and making it it's own object.

or how ever u want the elevators :O

ok im just gona try modeling it and animating it in my map and then making it onto a device and script it and then put it in the right spot in sapien and hope it goes all the way up my structure

thanks for the help guys
