Hi

I use a TWOBLOCK_PLATFORM in my new level as lift. The formular to raise it works great (Clicks*16+Speed), but how to lower them? I tried a negative value but it didn't work and one click (like in Catacombs) is not enough.

Is it possible to lower it and what's the formular?

You could use several raising blocks and lower them. To make it look like a real elevator, you could place them on top of each other. But I have no idea how to lower them exactly when the one above has finished lowering (if you know what I mean)...

I believe it is possible to lower them by clicking all five bits in the OCB the five numbered buttons at the top, this has the effect of starting the block in the raised position, and so lowers it when triggered.
If this is of no use, please disregard.

Thanks, but I already tested raising blocks as elevators some time ago. When triggered normaly (so that they raise) Lara won't raise slowly like the block. She will be suddenly in the air (high of the block). So that looks strange. I think it will be the same when a block is lowered.

I hope you understood, else: It works, but it looks not very good.

Yeah, that happened to me in one of my unreleased levels. I had a timed raising_block that was raised for a limited amount of time. When I pushed a pushable pillar, the block lowered when I was pushing over it. Either the pillar stayed in mid-air or it fell to the ground and I was pushing the air. I don't remember...
