ElevatorDemo

Description
Because I hate ladders, but I also hate stairs and platform-ladders are ugly,
I had to do it

Refer to the ElevatorDemo submarine file to see how to implement this. You can also reach me on the Barotrauma discord: Ecchi'Ki Senpai

Main pros:
- Does not need a ballast or an engine to move!
- Is not affected by the submarine's velocity in any way
- Can be used to design all sorts of moving parts without the need to carefully place a rail
- Works in multiplayer

Con:
- Can stutter a bit
- Water can't leak from one side of the elevator to another.

Note: The invalid docking network error is fixed in unstable 0.13.0.3

this be flooding the whole demo area when i use it, I fixed it by moving the doors back so the gaps wouldn't get in the way, the gaps in the doors cause this, just puttin this out here

Thanks for building this demo! Had no idea how this could be done, but your system works perfectly.

I fiddled around with the spacing and placement of the hatches, doors, hulls, and floors and came up with a version that moves faster than ladders and only rarely sucks passengers out the door!

How do you add more floors? I have tried for a month straight and none of the modifications I make worked. I have followed the steps needed but cannot add a single floor beyond what is already there.

OH MY GOD THAT'S GENIUS nice

It moves because it is pulled by the docking ports

I can't for the life of me figure out what the propulsion is here, it looks like it should just be perfectly buoyant and always float the carriage up. How is it moving?

1) Doors, yes it's intentional. The elevator itself is a shuttle, so the space containing the shuttle is the ocean. If I had connected the doors to the end of the hull, they would flood the entire submarine as soon as the door opens.

2) There is a tiny gap between the elevator and the submarine. It is too small to be lethal, but I can't make it perfectly line up with the shuttle without causing strange stuttering when the elevator moves up and down. It is possible to improve it further but I chose not to since this is just a demo

so the doors on each floor, are those intentionally placed before you reach the end of the hull? if so why? you must have notice the gap notification in editor. I ask because sometimes when leaving the elevator you get trapped in space between two hulls. its very brief though, and not lethal.
