A1 Elevators

Elevators simply go up and down. They are very easy to construct, but require a bit of patience. There are basically four types of elevators.

Elevator Platform Down

The elevator's platform will move from it's current height down to the next floor.

Create your elevator between two rooms. Adjust the height of the two rooms so that one will be the top floor and the other will be the bottom floor. Tag the elevator [0,16].

Texture your elevator (make sure you get all parts of it, some of them won't be visible until you are using the elevator in the game). Tile #877 is good for the walls of the elevator. Raise the ceiling and floor of the elevator so they match the height of the top floor's ceiling and floor.

Place the following sprites in the elevator: M[StopSound,MovingSound] (Sp[0,Speed]). I recommend M[73,71].

Elevator Platform Up

The elevator's platform will move from it's current height up to the next floor.

Create your elevator between two rooms. Adjust the height of the two rooms so that one will be the top floor and the other will be the bottom floor. Tag the elevator [0,17].

Texture your elevator. Raise the elevator's ceiling so it matches the height of the top floor's ceiling. Lower the elevator's floor so it matches the height of the bottom floor's floor.

Place the following sprites in the elevator: M[StopSound,MovingSound] (Sp[0,Speed]). I recommend M[73,71].

Elevator Down

The elevator's floor and ceiling will move from their current height down to the next floor.

Create your elevator between two rooms. Adjust the height of your rooms so one will be the top floor and the other will be the bottom floor. Tag the elevator [0,18].

Texture your elevator (it looks good if both the floor and the ceiling have a platform texture). Raise the elevator's floor and ceiling so they match the height of the top floor's floor and ceiling.

Place the following sprites in the elevator: M[StopSound,MovingSound] (Sp[0,Speed]). I recommend M[73,71].

Elevator Up

The elevator's floor and ceiling will move from their current height up to the next floor.

Create your elevator between two rooms. Adjust the height of your rooms so one will be the top floor and the other will be the bottom floor. Tag the elevator [0,19].

Texture your elevator (it looks good if both the floor and the ceiling have a platform texture). Lower the elevator's floor and ceiling so they match the height of the bottom floor's floor and ceiling.

Place the following sprites in the elevator: M[StopSound,MovingSound] (Sp[0,Speed]). I recommend M[73,71].
