Train / elevator to different floors each time?

[Cyberen]

Check out this map, I thought I could use AddOutput to move the tracktrain to whichever path_track I wanted by first setting the target, then moving the train, but it doesn't move at all. When they were linked 1-6 it just went to 6 and stopped. Any idea how I can make the tracktrain move (not teleport) to the level I want?

Send it a toggle input. That'll switch it from stop and start.

I quickly converted it to a whole other logic system, since I've never heard of using AddOutput to set the target of path_tracks, and heavily suspect that path_track neighbours are calculated on map load and can never be changed.
Here are some things I noticed along the way:

• Train speed can NOT be set to "Linear Blend" - this will make it convert negative velocity to positive, making it impossible for the train to move backward
• The "OnPressed elevator_position GetValue" output from the buttons MUST happen before the "OnPressed elevator_target SetValue" output - you can do this with a small delay, but in my case I found it was easy enough to do with order of output creation

Hope this helps!

All this reminded me of working on sd_offload's logic... good times!

Thank you so much Tiftid, it works beautifully! Did you want to upload this to the prefabs section or should I, because I think it's a wonderfully useful system!

You can upload it if you feel like, I don't really upload prefabs that often
