Lifts don't work in MP (Unless you're sparky and you know what you're doing) but grav lifts do but they generally lag or warp.

For a machine tag to function, you need to have a place for it in the Scnr tag. Currently, however, Blood Gulch's Scnr tag doesn't have such an allocation. Therefore, you can import machines, but you'll have to do some Hex to get them working.

Or you can do a SCNR swap. Swap bloodgulch's SCNR with a SCNR that has a machine pallete, such infinity or wizard.

machines don't sync. just use teleporters.

the only comment of any use is moxus'.

anyway, mr. Pillar: to put it simple, lifts/elevators are machines (mach).
to function properly, a mach cannot be simply imported and swapped with a scenery (scen); it must be spawned into a map which its scenario (scnr) has a machine palette.
bloodgulch, as moxus said, has no machine palette. the only multiplayer maps with one are wizard and infinity.

knowing this, what can you do to have a working machine into a map? you can either:
A) convert one of the two maps with the machine palette in them (and then import the machine you want in it)
or
B) use CE to put a machine palette in the map you want.

i would use method B if the lift is something i had to add to a map on which i already worked on*. otherwise i'd use method A.
(also, consider that using wizard will prevent you from having vehicles, since its scenario lacks a vehicles palette!
if you want vehicles, use infinity as a starting map!)


umm... yeah. <_< what else is there to add? dunno!
PS: oh, zodiark pointed out that wizard and infinity have machine palettes! so his comment had an use too! XD sorry zodieyy!!

EDIT: *thanks moxie!

[Sparky]

You can use my Scenario Madness to add machines. A release including the final version and a user guide is forthcoming. You'll have an easier time modding these things why my plugin set, also soon supporting the related ctrl and mach tags.

I remember in a CE zanzibar H3 mod there was a working grav lift, but it didnt work for like a second then launched you with almost 0 lag

alright thank you everyone for your help. i am probably going to use infinity.

Time to jump in here and ask a question.

I am already half way done with a mod with a bunch of scen and weap placement, can i use scnr swap to put a mach pallete without mixing up any of the scen slots and placements....

EDIT: Since it's swapped with a map with empty scen slots, all the scen i had placed aren't placed anymore.
Good thing i backed up....

i would use method B if the lift is something i had to add to a map on which i already worked [on].
