Hi,

"... how could i get the elevator to activate from the inside ..."

1. What about placing a shatter object somewhere to be shot at from the elevator?

2. Place a timed trigger in front of the elevator, Lara has to step on firstly.

Hope this suites your intention,

One way you could do it is to use a flipmap-

Make a room with the elevator in it, texture and light it etc. Then make a flipmap room, exactly the same. In the first room, place a trigger to activate the twoblock platform and also trigger thte flipmap. In the flipped room, place a dummy trigger for the twoblock platform.

That way, when she steps into the elevator, she triggers it to go up, and effectively switches on the dummy trigger at the same time, and hopefully there won't be any time delay. You could place this first trigger for the elevator and the flipmap near the back of the elevator, or maybe even with a switch inside the elevator, so that she is well inside before it starts moving.

If this seems too complex, just say. I have an overly complex mind...
