    |

Ok...
So I have an elevator that goes between three floors. I got the elevator to work just fine but I was trying to add the ability to go from level 3 to level 1 or visa versa. I have the logic all worked out and have done the INF for it so it should be working but it is not.
I have pinpointed the problem to be in a goto_stop call. Can you not make a call like this when the sector is an elevator move_fc? I have the following sequences:
For the elevator:
| Code: | /*
Format:
Sit (dummy stop if changing level)
Close
Adjoin
Open
Sit (trigger if on floor)
*/
seq
class: elevator move_fc
speed: 7
event_mask: 0
stop: elev_1adjoin hold
stop: elev_1adjoin hold
message: 1 elev_control goto_stop 1
stop: 8 0
message: 2 elev_adjoinme goto_stop 2
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
message: 3 elev_control goto_stop 2
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
message: 4 elev_messages(2) m_trigger
message: 4 elev goto_stop 3
message: 4 elev_trig(2) done
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
message: 5 elev_messages(3) m_trigger
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
message: 6 elev_control goto_stop 3
stop: 56 0
message: 7 elev_adjoinme goto_stop 3
stop: elev_3adjoin hold
message: 8 elev_control goto_stop 4
stop: elev_3adjoin hold
message: 9 elev_messages(3) m_trigger
stop: elev_3adjoin hold
stop: elev_3adjoin hold
message: 11 elev_control goto_stop 5
stop: 56 0
message: 12 elev_adjoinme goto_stop 2
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
message: 13 elev_control goto_stop 2
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
message: 14 elev_messages(2) m_trigger
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
stop: elev_2adjoin hold
message: 16 elev_control goto_stop 3
stop: 8 0
message: 17 elev_adjoinme goto_stop 1
stop: elev_1adjoin hold
message: 18 elev_control goto_stop 0
stop: elev_1adjoin hold
message: 19 elev_messages(1) m_trigger
slave: elev_floor
slave: elev_trig
seqend |
For the floor number chooser:
| Code: | seq
class: elevator scroll_wall
sound: 1 0
sound: 2 0
sound: 3 0
angle: 0
speed: 0
event_mask: 32
stop: 0 hold
message: 0 elev_floornum next_stop
stop: 16 hold
message: 1 elev_floornum next_stop
stop: 32 hold
message: 2 elev_floornum next_stop
stop: 32 0
message: 3 elev_floornum prev_stop
message: 3 elev_floornum prev_stop
message: 3 elev_floornum prev_stop
seqend |
For the decision for going to what floor:
| Code: | seq
class: elevator basic
sound: 1 0
sound: 2 0
sound: 3 0
speed: 0
event_mask: 0
stop: 0 hold
stop: 1 hold
stop: 1 hold
stop: 2 hold
stop: 3 hold
stop: 2 hold
stop: 1 hold
message: 6 elev goto_stop 15
stop: 2 hold
message: 7 elev goto_stop 3
stop: 3 hold
message: 8 elev goto_stop 5
stop: 3 hold
stop: 1 hold
stop: 2 hold
stop: 3 hold
seqend |
The sequences are long and drawn out and I'm sorry for that but it is all that I figured out right now. I might figure out a way to shorten it later I didn't finish it (mainly because I hit this little problem) and right now it (should) just show a message when I hit 3 (stop: 32 hold for the floor number). I added the same exact message to the decision making sequence and it worked fine. Am I doing something wrong? Also next_stop works fine too.
Sorry for the long post BTW

Not that it seems to matter much... but I figured out my problem. I was wanting the elevator to just skip to the desired stop instead of how DF handles the goto_stop which is to go to every stop in between also.
I'm trying something new and seeing if that works.

N'gah! I've got a level in the works with a fully functional elevator like that... Now it's no longer unique... (but I think it uses a lot less INF for three floors, about 40-50 lines for everything)

Well you can still be unique.
After a while of trying to get it work and keep failing, I finally gave up and moved on to the rest of the level (at that point I was only about 20%25% done). I may go back to it later but not for a while.

Don't worry about it, JC. I still have other, never-before-seen INF work to show off (such as working security cameras: they see you, you gotta get outta sight fast, or shoot them, else stormies start pouring in). If I remember, I'll send you a copy of the INF I use, so you can get it working (the only problem currently in mine is that you can hit mutiple floor buttons at once, but I know how to fix it)

Well there goes my thought to...
I haven't actually done the INF sequences yet but I have also thought of security cameras in my level. Like my dad always says, "Great minds think alike."

Hope this measn that, deep down inside, I'm not as cheesy as you are... Let's just hope you haven't firgured out a way arround sending subsectors from one to another across the X or Z planes, or how to have a 1000+ DFU hallway without HOMing...

Nope... I'll leave those enhancements to you 
:: thinks to himself why you would need a 1000+ DFU hallway ::
Oh well... it will be coll to look at none-the-less. Although I did manage 150+ no problem (not a hallway but outdoor area) but I think that's been done already so I'm doing nothing new there.
I do have other INF sequences already made that I hope will impress at least someone. Heck, I'm impressed that I could create something like stuff I did.
