Your going to need to define it a little more than that..

I just said the same thing twice, sorry. What else do you need to know to write the cog?

Nevermind, dont explain the switches. You can configure this to any switch/floor combination you want. [http://www.plauder-smilies.com/spiny.gif]

ok heres what I need. there are 5 stop points for the elevator. on the bottom floor, I need the elevator to crush the player if they enter the bottom sector while the elevator is not there (come down really fast on top of the player). There is 1 switch that should bring the elevator to frame zero. on the second floor, there are 2 switches that should bring the elevator to the same frame (frame one). on the third floor there are 3 switches that should bring the elevator to frame two. on the fourth floor the is 2 switches that should bring the elevator to frame three. I haven't made floor 5 yet, but it will have 1 switch that will bring the elevator to frame four. when the player walks on to it from the bottom, it should go to the top (frame 4) not stoping on the way up. it should only stop on the way up if it is called by the player to that floor level. anything else? Thanks!

Ok, sorry to tell you this, but the switches still stay on, even when the elevator has reached it's destination.
