I assume there must be some reaction between the player and the lift � their bounding boxes? I have tried inserting bits of code from the template lift code to solve this problem, but to no effect. Below is the code I use to work the lift. A lever is pulled and the lifts moves;- Code: function craterlift() { while (levercrater.tilt < 359) //lever switch which activates lift { levercrater.tilt += 20 * time_step; wait (1); } while (platform1.z > -60) //something needed here to stop judder? { platform1.z -= 2 * time_step; //lift starts to move wait (1); } } action craterlever() { levercrater = my; my.enable_click = on; my.event = craterlift; } Can anyone help please? I have spent a LOT of time on this � and it has beaten me !! Kind regards, David (david@davidmoreton1.wanadoo.co.uk) Last edited by rayp; 04/02/14 14:02.

Deactivate the event directly after it was called, and reactivate it, if lift - movement is done. Besides that, if u dont use "levercrater" somewhere else i would use "my" as pointer in the whiles. Btw. i wont put whiles in events. Please note: if the lift moves u should check below and above ( via c_trace + use_box ) that the lift is able to reach its end, say a model walks below the lift ( and keeps standing ) ull have a never ending while. edit: If you have a function / void handling the camera, maybe Code: proc_mode = PROC_LATE; fixes the prob ( a wild guess ).

You should either increase the time_smooth variable or create a function that smoothens your lift speed.
