I am making a map which features elevators. They are essential to the gameplay and will be part of what makes the map unique.

Basically, I need two types of elevators scripted:

Type 1 - Intro elevator:
When the game loads and the black screen fades away, players notice they have been spawned in an elevator car traveling down... Similar to how players started on the lunar lander in Ascension (from Black Ops 1). When the elevator reaches the floor, it cannot be ridden again until the power is turned on, at which point it becomes a type 2 elevator.

Type 2 - Every other elevator:
Standard elevator, containing inner and outer doors, where players can call the elevator to their floor and ride it up or down.

I am open to learning how to script these, because after all, if you teach a man to fish, he eats for life. However, I have no idea where to start or how to code it... Some advice, guidance, and suggestions would be appreciated! I AM familiar with Java and C++, so it's not completely foreign to me.

Or perhaps I can sway one of you generous scripters out there to make a decent, working elevator script. I've spent a long time looking at other elevator scripts (Zombie Kid's, Woo's, etc), but none seem to work correctly. Of course, I know it takes a lot of time and effort to make a script, but doing so would make me (and probably other mappers) jump for joy!

Code it yourself and ask for help when you get stuck. There's different techniques to building elevators and probably pathing issues too.
You'll need getent function maybe teleport. Maybe moveto or edit mesh.origin
And buttons to activate it.
Search through the code from the shared folder to find how the developers do things.
If you know c++ you'll catch onto gsc easily. If you're a noob you might struggle a bit. But should catch on eventually if you understand the basics

GSC is based on c++

gsc is based on basic c not c++

Black ops 3 was made using C++. GSC is a derivative of the language that black ops 3 was created with. GSC is a derivative of C++. C and C++ are such a similar language it's not worth arguing about. Game developers use many different languages when they develop their games and I wouldn't be surprised if a slew of C and C++ were used. C++ is the base for black ops 3 though.

Please post answers regarding the question of agog27.
He probably doesn't care if GSC is C++ or C

I want to also mention that I'm all for sharing code so that others can implement features easier into their maps. If it helps you get started I'll give you code that I use for my doors and you can edit it to do what you want. I have a chunk of floor that goes down when you buy it. That could be edited for use as an elevator. I'm not going to make the code for you though. If I had elevator code I'd share it. If someone else wants to make it for you though, great!
