This is going to take a while please lift up my spirits




Well this is going to take somehow I managed to get basic lift kismet to work. This is by far the biggest amount of kismet I had to compile together.

Well where to start off . . . Ok at first I wanted to get the mechanics of the lift doors sorted closing/opening.

So there triggers are very complicated. Pressing the lift button using the button ‘E’ will activate a play sound trigger that plays a message stating “lift will arrive in 5 seconds”. At the same time pressing this trigger will activate a delay timer off 5 seconds that then connects to the matinee animation of the lift moving up or down towards your chosen floor. The trigger volume boxes outside the lift door are there once touch send a 13 second delay timer to reverse the lift animation on the floor your on and the corresponding floor you want to go to. With this in mind there is a chance if you stand in the lift too long over 13 seconds I believe you can get stuck in there if the lift door shuts on you. I was just hoping on presentation day no player would stand in the lift any longer then needed too so they would get stuck this was an huge bug that I did think of sorting out but I didn't get around to it in the end. Thankfully no player on presentation day stood in the lift for an unnecessary reason

Now to talk about inside the lift and the lift movement kismet mapping. Looking at the physic button in the lift that says “Push, Press & wait” you will push a trigger that starts the lifts movement to your designated floor for a total of 5 seconds. Also as soon as you press this button you hit a delay timer for 23 seconds that will reverse the lift animation to go to the floor you just came from.

I realise there probably is a more simplistic approach to kismetting a lift and lift doors but this kismet was all done purely using my own mind to work out problems and finding out how to fix them and make things work.
