You want the zone to be just past the orange barrier so that it can trigger!

Be flexible with this, you cold make a 10 story castle with this technique, just used in a different way!

But remember, perseverance is key!

Thanks! I use this technique to make a roof for a cave, and to hide it when you go into it.

The whole point of this guide is to make a second floor to a map. This is the tutorial on how to make the stairs for the second map, if my thinking is correct. Did you make it in GKC and see what it does?

I understand some things, but could you explain the overall “gimmick” of the post?

Edit: I know it’s to make stairs, but I replicated it and literally nothing happened. What was supposed to happen? That is what I’m saying.

When I made a 2 story house, I just put one zone at the top of my stairs to send on channel Upstairs, and one zone below that to send on channel Downstairs. It worked just fine, I don’t get the use of all of the extra barriers and zones here.

Yeah. Making an invisible teleporter that teleports you “upstairs” and “downstairs” seems a lot better than this.

The reason why I want to understand this is because @Cameron_Sharer said that it was genius. I kind of want to know what is so great about it, because right now I really don’t know where to start.

Idk man, this feels like a way to make stairs from one floor to another, but the guide was hard to read, and the instructions might have been wrong. Do you think you could make stairs from floor 1 to floor 2 better and/or make a better guide about it?

I can try, but it’s late, and I’m going offline in about a minute.
