Ah, my mistake. I see what you meant, I put in your code and it seems to solve a majority of the problem.
Though, for some reason it still 'feels' different than from HL2DM, the lift in HL2DM is much smoother still. I have applied the fix to the Base SDK code to isolate anything we might have changed with the movement code that could be affecting it. The easiest way for me to describe it, within HL2DM, if you pay close attention to the lift, the lift will not appear to jitter up and down. In the base SDK with the fix, the lift appears to jitters up and down very slightly. Are there any other optimizations/fixes that have been applied?

When you say, "In hl2dm, it's smooth regardless of the "smoothstairs" setting." It sounds like you misunderstand what I'm trying to say. HL2DM is running the code from episode 1 that I pasted below. smoothstairs is already disabled when you're on an elevator in HL2DM - so testing HL2DM isn't going to prove whether this change is the fix or not - you have to test a mod based on the current SDK code release. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald > Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 7:07 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Jerky Movement when player is on > moving lift/elevator. > > That only masks the problem apparently.
