This was made by a forgehub member and was posted in the bungie blog a fully functional elevator.

P.s. I hope this is the right subforum.

I saw this earlier, made by Devinish, it all works wonderful. He did a great job. I'm really interested in seeing how it works...

Elevator works flawlessly!

But, sadly, it really doesn't mesh with the gameplay.

It could though, it would be an interesting idea for objective gametypes.

It's a little to loud. You hear a BOOM and then think "Get ready to grenade spam the elevator!"

This is definitely very very cool and definitely possible on sandbox... I'm sure Coyote and I will find a very good use for it... ;)

his elevator lags a bit tho, sad to say, if you have a game going it will get a little slow

Actually, I heard that elevators were going to be harder on Sandbox, because movable objects, like the Small Blocks were unaffected by Grav Lifts.

Unaffected by grav lifts? Shit... back to the drawing board for my arena map...

Yep, I heard that and went to test it myself. It's complete bullshit, but it is very true.
I didn't try the Tiny Blocks, so you might want to check those out, but the Small ones definitely didn't budge.

Another thing you might want to try, now that I think about it, is a Permanent Grav Lift. I used equipment. Theoretically there could be a difference, but I doubt it.

tiny blocks and broken pillars are both affected by gravlifts

I have never seen an elevator that open spontaneously, I'm surprised yours don't beep.

I kinda dislike Sandbox for its lack of moveable objects. They couldn't have just gave us a dusty crate or something?

Ya I agree. I loved having movable objects mostly cause you could make a map have really changing gameplay like one map had a wire spool/crate/barrier tower and could be knocked over which meant no tower to shoot from and more cover on the ground. It was a really fun map but sadly got deleted from Hard Drive
