    I agree with this, it's so buggy. We run a plugin to prevent falling but it doesn't work. Valve said they fixed it but, doesn't work.

    Hah this happened to me once.

    I was playing smoker, i fell through the roof and i grabbed a survivor and i guess the funny part is that i fell through the elevator again and while i was flying down i was still holding the survior and he fell through elevator and flied down with me. When i landed my tongue broke and along came he falling down.

    Pretty funny :).

    Guys don't remove the elevator part of no mercy it's the most fun. I don't care about the bug it's just so much fun to play the map, as a survior and infected.

    Also why did you guys remove 4 parts of Swamp Fever?

    Gotta agree with littlebrother and marvel. I tend to argue that things in the game that are buggy can't be avoided and should not be enforced a rules violation. If SI could drop down and kill all survivors guaranteed each time, then that would definitely "break" the game since no one could ever make it to the saferoom, but it's still only a small percentage of times that it works... maybe as often as players fall through on their own.

    When my teams are riding up the elevator, we (I) will ask everyone to stay up against the walls of the elevator (pushing the back button preferably), don't move around, don't heal, don't get anyone up, yada, yada, yada. Players that don't listen, sometimes (not always) pay the price. Staying against the walls seems to reduce the chances of falling through the floor or having someone phase through and take you down. Also we shoot up at the roof which helps to take out a few trying to phase through. I don't usually try it myself as SI because I'm trying to setup a glorious karma charge or slap off the building, so I'd rather see them make it... but not I'm punishing anyone that tries it unless a we make a standing rule.

    In L4D1 there is a hole in the top of the elevator so SI could come in. This is a remake of a L4D1 map, right? :D

    This has been fixed btw, I've disabled SI from getting into the elevator shaft. They could bypass the invisible wall which caused the bug to happen. That's not possible anymore right now and the sourcemod plugin will hopefully fix Valve's bug and prevent any survivor to fall down.

    A day or two ago I ran in as boomer to bile survivors. Someone went ahead and started it and at least 4-5 survivors died. I swear it was unintentional on my part, just bad timing I suppose.

    My questions are will this happen anymore? What if a tank is in the elevator when its started? Also, will SI be able to climb to the top of the shaft and be able to get out to attack survivors at the top of the shaft?

    Thanks.

    The question is why are you so interested with the "top of the shaft"? :P

    What's wrong with trying to avoid those bugs? :P
