Issues with making a lift

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’ve been trying to make a multi-floor elevator. It seemed to work fine after a lot of scripting, so I built a shell and elevator shaft.

I go to test it and…
It’s broken.

I probably overlooked this, and has nothing to do with the model.
The issue is: if you want to go to the second floor from floor 1, it works like it should, but if you go from floor 2 to floor 1 then it errors.

I tried making floor 3 and 0 to see if it changed anything, and yes, but that still doesn’t solve the issue. The lift just goes to level 0 and then back to 1

I have no idea how to fix this, and I’ve been trying for a while now.

EDIT: Updated file, also unions seem to be corrupted, but that’s fine
EDIT 2: Removed downloadable file

I don’t think you should send the file but I’m not too sure but here is my guess;

Make sure it’s not anchored and rathered welded. If it did work before, that is my guess.

#3

The elevator moves fine, it just goes to the wrong floor

#4

Perhaps the script isn’t checking if it is at that floor (position) and stopping?

#5

Also, is there any advantage to using tweens instead of body movers to move the elevator? I feel like body movers would make the code less complex.

Think I might’ve fixed the problem

I managed to fix the issue myself. I’m not even sure what I exactly did lol

I just added some if statements to see if the lift goes up or down, changed some things around, and now it seems to work perfectly.
