elevator problem

How do make an free falling elevator in hammer?

I mean, the execution of such a task would be entirely up to your own interpretation. I personally would probably have the elevator itself be a train that follows a path down the elevator shaft at a high velocity which would linearly ramp up.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try.

You can always use the physics engine and convert the brushes to physics entities on the fly. That's sure not to get stuck.

Remember to use env_shake to make the effect more convincing!

Here is my first attempt at it.

Included in zip file is the vmf and a compiled BSP of my first attempt.
