How Does Commander "hack" Elevators?

Blackout

<div class="IPBDescription">Tried this, can't make it work</div> I understand the commander is supposed to be able to operate doors, elevators, and any thing else a marine can operate. I'm wondering, then, why I watched my poor little men die at the bottom of a lift I couldn't move. I saw a special icon when hovering the mouse over switches - a picture of a hand on a switch - but clicking or hitting "e" didn't work. Was this a fluke? Is there some requisite I'm missing (e.g., a live marine must close to the switch)? How does this work?

Right click.

If that didn't work, they jammed the elevator with turrets, making it impossible to move.

Hmmm right clicking has never worked for me either

when im commanding i find it quicker to get out my seat, run to the elevator/door in question, open it, and run back to my seat again.

Possibly this is because noone ever follows my farking orders!

i've had this problem... though i have never tried right clicking... i'll experiment when i play next with this

One time I was able to left click on a door switch and the door opened...five minutes later I did the same to try to close the door and it didn't work...

It is supposed to be left click, but it has never worked for me before. Right click is reserved for orders.

you click, which one i dont remember

I tried left and right click on a clear, unjammed elevator, but no luck. I might have bound a key wrong or something, but it still seems kind of buggy.

We encountered that bug last night. Our CO couldn't move the elevator on ns_bast. To resolve this problem, just click on a factory or armory, and it sould be fine - at least it worked for us <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

For me left click works ... however sometimes ... (due to lag? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ) it dosent .... that I try left click + drag ... worx <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

funny to see a bug moving under a lift and close it on him sometimes they get stuck.
