Bug Elevators (The ones that go to the sewers / metro)

[Pandox]

Bug: The elevators in the slums (or the ones that generally go to the sewers or maybe even all kind of elevators) can get people killed or stuck.

Description: This has been happening on a daily basis, the elevators either get people stuck when reaching the topside or top floors making people have to do /charfallover to get themself unstuck or either when you start going up from the bottom floor you can get "killed" (then having to ask stuff to heal / revive) by it, no idea what causes this to happen as all the times it has happened to me there has been nothing on top of my head that could get me stuck making me get killed. This is a critical bug, as all it takes is for one dude to get killed by em while there's no staff online or wasn't recording and he loses everything he had on him plus some skill levels.

Errors/time: Frequent, This bug keeps happening on a daily basis, either people getting stuck or being "killed" (put on the bleed out status).

I've implemented a few elevators in the source engine in Hammer it's easy, so this fix should also be easy. The trick is atle Is probably just mapping the elevators wrong

Well

I guess I'm going to have to do this again.

Seems to me this is a typical source / lag issue where you'll lag for a sec and it'll spazz out your location, probably causing the elevator to think you're "blocking" it, killing you in the process. Not something I can fix unfortunately, happens in source games

i've only seen it stuck you on the ground where you have to crouch to get off from it but never kill someone?

No, it is something you are doing wrong with mapping. Elevators in other maps work fine, but your map it doesn't
We are having dozens of people a day die to these poorly made elevators, this is not something you can just ignore

I cannot recreate the issue which makes me believe it's a source lag issue, seen this happen in many servers with completely different maps and elevators. You're welcome to make new elevators that I can test but as for my part, there's nothing that I can do

Unable to reproduce.

I'll just say that this is still happening as seen it yesterday but server restarts do seem to mitigate this issue, so as Atle said before, maybe the source lag is a contributing factor.

I've seen as well if people crouch or do other stuff in the elevator then it's more likely to cause the problem.

If this fixes after a restart, it's a Source issue. It's out of our control.
