Halloween Map Elevator
Can someone help me? I want to make an elevator out of brushes. I tried doing it with a func_tracktrain but the brushes turned sideways... i want the elevator to go both up and down on specified triggers. And i want to be able to change the speed doing the ride... what do i do?
EDIT: Its a vertical elevator
This is for my halloween map... its gonna be spooky... if i just could do this elevator...
Make your own elevator, that's kind of hard, like valve hard, making that part is like making the part
Just copy everthing from the instances.
P.S Only the destroyed maps use custom elevators not underground or clean ones
P.P.S if you use custom glados lines it'll be cool. "welcome to the aperture... Booooo or scream, I'm sorry, i didn't know why that happened."
And turret lines "trick or treat" "boooooo" " oooooooo, I'm a ghost" "blllaaaarrrrg"
P.P.P.S it'll also cool if you made custom models, pumpkins, ghost, a turret skinned like a ghost, cobwebs, blood.

You've got some very cool ideas! Im just not that pro... I've just edited the instance and is now going to try it.. i can think i can do that part... but making my own models i need a tutorial first 
Edit: The elevator thing nearly worked!
Which "trigger" do i need to make a track_train change speed?
SetMaxSpeed?
SetSpeed?
SetSpeedReal?
Change speed? Doesn't that depend on the logic and a script (sp_elevator_motifs)?
Anyway, it those 3, you said.
Though the default speed is 300, I recommend you use 200

No the elevator speed is 1000 and i want it to suddenly change to about 2000 or 2500...
Oh, those are like the portal elevators, with dialogue, use 2000, without, use 1500.
Yes. But how do i change the speed doing the ride?
No, the reason your elevator didn't work originaly is because you didn't have Fixed Orientation flagged. Go to the flags on your func_tanktrain,and then check the box that says 'Fixed Orientation.' If you need more information on how to make a moving elevator or lift, try using this tutorial.
The tutorial can be used for elevators too.
The options in the func_tanktrain only set the initial speed. The best way to change speed is using the path_tracks themselves. Its something like, on pass, SetSpeed, 500.
However, I don't think changing speed midway on an VALvE elevator is very easy. Of course, you could always add more paths to the track if you where careful enough.
Yes. But how do i change the speed doing the ride?
The speed depends on the outputs or path_tracks
On path tracks use 200-500, but I still recommend you use elevator motifs (if it works)

Im not pretty sure about what a elevator motif is...
I do use the paths as triggers.
OnPass, elevator1, SetSpeed, 2500
