Help: Using a Turbolift to go to different levels

Howdy folks,

I'm pretty new to the foundry and I'm building sets for the machinima series Star Trek: Majestic. I have a question about how to give turbolifts the option to go to different levels that I've already designed. Currently, I have the following maps done: Deck 1: Bridge, Deck 4: Engineering, Deck 5: Shuttlebay, and Deck 6: Sick Bay, Brig, and Transporter room. How do I have the turbolifts on each of these decks allow a person to travel to all of the other decks?

    Are these different maps or different sets built on the same map? If different maps, then put an invisible object in the turboligt, with last task of the story board (for that map) to interact with the invis obj. Write the interact text as "Activate Turbolift" or something like that.

    Foundry is linear, so they'd have to be in order. Not multiple choice. Unless you were to do a custom build with them all on the same map where different settings would show/hide based on triggers.

    They're all separate maps.

    If that's the case then what Kirkfat said will work

    They're all on different maps. I'm thoroughly confused because if I have multiple actions on the same interact, it won't fire until all the actions are completed for both turbolifts. If I separate them all into different actions it only gives me the option to go one other map in one of the turbolifts and the second turbolift has no interactions. Do you happen to have a tutorial or something written up that goes into more detail that I can follow?

    Are you trying to give the player an option to which map they want to go to? This isn't possible.

    :( unfortunately like thisisscience said, the map transitions and such are all very linear
    map 1 to map 2 to map 3 to map 4
