Getting Started
First we will add a block and then scale it for the elevator to travel its way up the side.

Then we make a platform for the actual elevator. Note: when making an elevator, make sure that you change it form a BSP to a Static Mesh. Also, you change the mobility for Static to Moveable.

Triggering
As we showed in a previous tutorial about triggering an open door, now were going to trigger a lifting elevator. First we drag a box trigger, onto the platform. You also need to change the mobility to Moveable.

You then add a Matinee to your elevator.

Moving
You select all actors and select a movement. Add a key frame of 5 seconds. Now your elevator can move.

Add your blueprints for triggering the elevator to lift.

Make sure that your platform is a collision, so your player is able to stand.
