first -
make an animation in renx -
simple one - like a platform moving between two points.
animate it going up then back down.
export as a H.a.m.
make it in commando - add the elevator physics - then setup up the trigger zones for the elevator.
(look at a elevator w3d in the always.dat and use w3d viewer to view it - you will get an idea of the way to make them)
there's your elevator.
now - in lan games - they work great - but unless you have a good server and the players have little to no lag - you may have "mis-alignment" - "out of sync" errors trying to use them in MP maps.
worse case - you stutter -- and fall through the map - best case - you seem to "transport" around.
I would recommend to use the "transport" script that Dante has - easier to use - and you don't have the "out of sync" issues.
(this is not to say some MP use elevators with no problems - but in my testing - the payoff is not worth the hassle - Plus Greg said that they are error prone in MP games - and since he is the man who made most of the things in the game - i'm going with his advice)

Is this the teleport your refering to as the "transport Script"? If it is then the teleport script works great. I have tested it on that test map i made and it works without any errors in multiplayer online.

it is and it does - hence my suggestion to use that before making an elevator
