No caps please buddy! ;)

Anyway, if your definition of "activate" is what I think it is, then no, there is no "button" to activate a trigger. You have to set the trigger. Whether through coding or the mapmodel itself doesn't matter (either way works ;) (though coding works better :) )).

You have to assign the same level trigger to the elevator mapmodel and entity! I haven't experimented much with elevators so I'd advise you to look at some maps in sandbox that might have some elevators.

Hope that helps!

BTW look at the Snow Rpg in Sandbox. That has elevators! ;) Have fun!

Coding for doors is the easiest thing in the world.

assign the door 12 trigger type and 1 for trigger level

assign key trigger type 11 and trigger 1 and that's it!.

And make sure you're in single player mode not co-op edit. Triggers won't work in co-op edit... ;)

What Klimyriad meant was for opening doors without keys:

While GR1m was talking about opening doors with keys:

Just to clear up any confusion you might've had!

well.... okay. I wasn't really correcting you, just making sure tata wasn't confused. Both you and Gr1m are right, but you were talking about different things, so I didn't want any confusion. :) ;)
