Elevators

How do you make elevators in HL2 DM? I used to use the func_door entity, but its really jumpy... what's a better way?

Welcome to multiplayer physics. Leave your dreams of elevators that aren't jumpy at the door.

So keep using func_door ?

I made an elevator that wasn't jumpy in DM. Only....my elevator didn't work exactly like an elevator. I had it resting at the top of the shaft, and when the button was pressed it fell really fast to the bottom, crushing anyone in the shaft. Then it slowly rose back to the top and reset itself. But you could get in it too. I just made it a tracktrain (i think)... I never actually released that map....it was more of a neat idea than a good DM map. I went a little nuts with the brushes...learned my lesson :| .
