Québec is a neat city in that it has an old town (basse-ville) and the newer city (québec is over 400 years old). separating the two are the cliffs of the st. lawrence river and a steep climb up
ever since i was little, the “ascenseur” has been a fixture of quebec city and an iconic symbol. it’s like a cog railway mashup with an elevator. it’s free and makes it a quick trip between the historic lower town and the château frontenac up top
in Enclave Harbour (OpenSim), i also have a hotel overlooking the water up on a cliff and decided it needed some access from that parking area below. so i built an ascenseur =)
Micheil Merlin, an expert scripter and often contributor to this blog, graciously created a script for the new and almost finished elevator. he is so thorough and gave me a prim with all the scripts in it that was exactly positioned to allow me to simply drop his scripts and notecard into the ascenseur’s root prim
thank you Micheil, this makes my heart smile! =)

You’re welcome.
The script issues link messages when it starts and stops moving. So, it can be made to open and close gates when it arrives and leaves.
