When ever there is a switch in my level lara doesn't pull the switch. I press the action button to pull the switch but she just stands there and after about 2 seconds the switch goes down?

Whats gone wrong?

I can only assume that you have inadvertently used an original wad instead of a revised wad, however it may also be that you have not left enough slots free for animation; I believe 10 slots are required.
I am sorry if the above is not specific to your problem, perhaps someone else may have an answer.

Nah it ain't the 10 slots free thing. I just started my level today and only have a 3 objects in ( Excluding the Puzzles, Enemies and guns ). What should i try?

Hmm curious, This does seem indefinable, however, are we talking about the 'push' lever switch (like the one in tut1) or the jump switch?.
If it is the lever switch as mentioned above, then I am unsure, however if it is the jump switch, it is required to be at least 7 clicks above the floor.

Both! in my level so far is nearly every kind of switch ( Push switch, Lever Switch: one in the Library WAD, Jump switch from the city wad and the reach in hole switch from the settomb WAD ). When i press action on all of the switches, Lara just stands there and after about 2 seconds the door opens. Hmm. Strange

??????Ne Ideas??????

The obvious answer would be missing animations, but ALL switch animations missing? That is strange.
It does sound like you might have started with an unrevised wad. And as you transferred switches to the wad, the Lara animations of course did not come with them.

Do you have a trigger for the switch on the same box as the switch? If that so, the switch could be triggered by Lara standing on the Trigger box, instead of her using the switch to trigger.

I hope you understand what I'm talking about. I'm pretty bad at English, especially when it comes to describing.

Ahhh, I fixed the problem: When i was building my WAD in my TRWEST i used all of the Coastal wad animations. And as you no the Coastal wad doesn't have any switches in of any kind. So i rebuild my wad and inserted the City WAD animations and then when i tested my level the animations for the switches worked. Thanks NeWay

I had a similar bug when I extract a key hole from another level lara use it but the animation where all wrong!!!
It was because I replace in a wrong hole
i replaced as a puzzle hole for that the animation didnīt work. You can check that if you replace that level.
did you triger it as switch? itīs very important to do that if you are doing a lever switch.
bye!
