Activing lift

[provocating]

Is there a way to activate a lift via script? Mainly I am referring to Kelethin.

EDIT....seem to have found it.

They're doors, aren't they? Are there quest functions for manipulating doors?

[provocating]

Yes, and this is pretty comical being able to play with the doors via script. The reason I needed this was because the guards fall from the top of Kelethin to the ground below when pathing. I want them the activate the lift and then get on the lift and head down.

That... would be fantastic. I'd planned on just making upper-level and lower-level guards that don't cross paths, to get around that unimmersiveness.

Pretty easy to do. Just have the guard stand at the top with a pause, activate the lift when he is at that way point. Give the lift about 5 seconds to go down. I just need to check how the guard reacts to the lift going down with him on it.

Well it worked. I had to do a few little tricks on the pathing so that he did not stay in the mid-air while the elevator went down. Altogether, pretty neat.

Nice! I'll probably hit you up for a few of your clever tricks at some point, and have a few of my own to share.

Sure thing. Pretty cool to speed up the process, Guard Sunblaze is at run speed 12 zipping around Kelethin.
