Is there a cog out there that is for an elevator like the one in the Fortress level in Perfect Dark? If you don't play PD, it is an elevator that goes up and down constantly, never stops and stays in one place, just up and immediately down, or vice versa. Let me know if you've ever seen this.

Ive played PD, but I dont remimber that elevator. Nevertheless, its a cinch:

Code: 
#01/2001 GBK
Symbols
Message Startup
Message Arrived
Thing Elev
Int Lastframe=1
Flex Movespeed=4.0
End
Code
Startup:
Sleep(1.0);
Movetoframe(Elev, Lastframe, Movespeed);
Stop;
Arrived:
If(Getcurfame(Elev) != Lastframe || Getcurframe(Elev) != 0) Stop;
If(Getcurframe(Elev) == Lastframe) {
Movetoframe(Elev, 0, Movespeed); }
Else {
Movetoframe(Elev, Lastframe, Movespeed); }
Stop;
End


 

There is an LEC cog that will do this, but it runs in a While(1) loop, so I tend to advise against it.

GBK, just a off topic question... Why are you using stop; instead of return;?

I use 'Stop' because:

1) Its easier to type.

2) There is no functional difference between 'Stop' and 'Return'.

3) I can.
