I'm trying to make a vertical door for a game I'm making and need to hold a collidable object in the air without it falling down. It's going to have a basic raise-lower action to it. I'm trying to avoid using SetPosition, timers, and math to hold them in mid air. Is there a way I can have a collidable physics object that doesn't respond to gravity? I've already tried GravityOff(e), but the Phsyics On property seems to override that. Any help greatly appreciated!

+ Code Snippet

function wall_control_init(e)
 GravityOff(e)
 CollisionOn(e)
 Prompt("Started")
end
	 
function wall_control_main(e)
 GravityOff(e)
 CollisionOn(e)
 PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e) -- this line calls to another Function
 if PlayerDist < 1000 then
  Prompt("You Have Arrived")
  MoveUp(e,20)
 elseif PlayerDist >= 1000 then
  Prompt("You Have Left")
  MoveUp(e,-20)
 end
end

Try giving the entity zero weight in it properties settings so it wont fall to the ground.

Same as the lift uses in
