Lucid Dreams, don't worry man, i support you all the way.
This is in fact, NOT an elevator. You simply just knife, and it climbs the ladder automatically. An elevator is when you elevate to the top of a barrier, i.e. a house with a barrier over it. I have know clue where you are at Connor, because I'm pretty sure i don't see "climbing a ladder for you" in that definition at all. Plus it is just completely useless. Why not just climb the ladder? The only way you can do it is with a ladder? There really is no point at all. I've seen some threads around this site that talk about elevators and how they work/what happens in them. Go search for that, read it, and come back to tell me if this is an elevator or not.
If you would like to look smart, you would say it's not.
Don't take this as flaming, as I'm just stating the facts.
