How do i make an elevator? (still confused)

✓ Accepted answer

Use bodyPosition to move it to a position, generally you have invisible markers at the floor, and you can put their position in a bodyPosition , which will cause it to move to the floor.

If using multiple parts, you should either use a weld script to weld it all together, or the weld surface type when building.

s = script
g = game.Workspace

Car = s.Parent.Parent

function onClicked()
	Car.BodyPosition.position = Car.Position + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
end

script.Parent.Parent.CD.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

The above code will work, assuming you have the required BodyPosition.

It will move the Car up 3 from its original position.

Also, increase the maxforce of the BodyPosition, i used 40000

You will probably want a BodyGyro in there to keep Car stable, make sure to include the maxforce of Y in it.

You can from here add buttons to control the elevator up or down, or add floors. If you have for example an invisible marker at Floor one you can change

Car.BodyPosition.position = Car.Position + Vector3.new(0,3,0)

Car.BodyPosition.position = FloorOneMarker.Position

Ok. so i can copy this exact thing but change vector3?

Yes, it should work exactly. Assuming you have everything in the correct place. You might want to modify the paths to the ClickDetector or the car depending on your setup.

Im currently on studio now. i dont understand how its not working. heres what i did. i welded everything to be in place. took the thing i wanted to be a button. added clickdetector and a script in it. put YOUR script in it. then i added body force and position to Car. and i upgraded the force. im still confused

WAIT!!!!!!!! do i put clickdetector and that script in the car????

Before trying to script, Please learn basic scripting and logic.

Read the script, and change it AS I TOLD YOU TO DO, so it will lead to where you put everything. Unless your click detector is named CD, CD will obviously not be found. I never said to use bodyforce, i said bodyGYRO.
