This is an experimental construct concept using Lua. Basically, it allows more building space by expanding vertically rather than horizontally in the most efficient way possible - elevators. This map was built as a tech demo and proof of concept.

[b]Features[/b]:
-Control panels with fast cursor computation algorithm from LuaChip
-2 passenger elevators that respond to the same set of calls
-1 freight elevator for moving of contraptions
-9 floors with lobbies and "air" locks
-1 control room/office
-Script supports at least 83 floors per elevator
[b]Heresys[/b]:
-Lighting without apparent light sources
-gm_construct textures
-Flat displacements
-Bland architecture
-Default freight lift placement results in bad shadows
[b]Notes[/b]:
-The SENTs transmit data as efficiently as possible with custom data streams. The scripts are optimized for very little garbage collection. For the layman: it doesn't lag.
-The passenger elevators are set to a very high speed (400), and because of GMod's broken clientside prediction, you may appear to be riding on the top of the car when you're actually on the floor. You can still jump - you're view is just wrong. If you don't like this, reduce the speed to 200 or so.
-Supports elevators with more than one set of doors (Doors can open independently of each other)
[b]Please steal my work![/b] You have permission to use all or part of this release in your own map. In fact, this is [i]the only reason I made this map[/i].
For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, I'm talking about stealing the elevators.
I don't get this.
What is the experiment in this, if you want more build space why not just have a bigger room?
Really horrible texture work, but I guess it could be useful if people need an elevator.
Just I wouldn't encourage people to use this, because it doesn't look good, and they'll get shouted at.
Am I the only one that likes a little security when building? ...but I guess you're right. The applications for a platform that can move between several different vertical levels on demand and in queue are limited, if not, non-existential.
Are we still talking about the concept, or the quick-job tech demo map?
Sorry, I should clarify:
Concept = multi-floor elevator with minimal entity placement and setup

Great work.
I've made a multi-floor elevator, but queueing is a godsend.
Is there a download file?

Garrysmod.org is no good for downloading. Night-Eagle do you have another website to download GM_elevatest?
