First off sory to post so much but I have questions that I forgot the answers to.

In my level, I have a river. I made the river so that it would go to fast for the player to cross without getting sucked down a waterfall unless they pressed a button to slow it. Is there a way to do this in DF? I'm not sure. If not, I'll just do something else.

I'm not sure if you can change the speed of elevators... Perhaps you could have two ELEVATOR SCROLL_FLOOR items per sector, one fast and the other slow. Each will have a separate EVENT_MASK (choose the special ones like 2048 and 4096). Since it won't have an EVENT_MASK of 0, you'll need to make sure the second STOP for each is rediculously large, into the billions probably (I think DF can go that high). Have a startup sector that sends the message MASTER_ON to the fast one (using its unique EVENT_MASK). For the switch to slow it, have it send MASTER_OFF to the fast one, and MASTER_ON for the slow on. I'm not sure if this works, obviously. It's just a thought.

If you're using the unique event_mask, can't you *just* use the Master: On or Master: Off and not worry about stops?

Thanks Casey. I actually didn't look at your post but I got it working on my own but your solution is the exact one I used. I was thinking of the same thing to begin with but I didn't know how to use events

But I got it working no and now I'm
