Cage drop script;
GetPlayerDistance(e) has changed since previous versions so ... watch out for that.
I would have kept it working as it was-- then allow for separate 'Y' check.
Lines 42, 43;
This was tested on the aqueduct water "con_pipe" in "Cityscape" . The rotation is set for that--
change to all zero's (just don't call me, I'm not an attorney) for your model.
The "trap" will behave with physics and roll off player if set to IsImmobile = no but it will drop with gravity that way.
Nevertheless, I suggest the manual drop with IsImmobile = yes to erase those concerns.
