func_elevator

Code classes:

• CFuncElevator
• CBaseToggle
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

func_elevator is a point entity present in both Left 4 Dead games. It simulates an elevator. It can be told to move to a top or bottom floor, and any number of additional floors specified by info_elevator_floors. Can only move vertically.

Bug: The entity may function incorrectly if "floors" are very close to each other.

Tip: If Top floor position and Bottom floor position are positioned correctly and helpers are enabled, there will be a circle above and below the brush with lines connecting both of them to the middle of the brush. Be careful to not confuse them with the Origin (origin) circle, which will not be connected by a line.
