We were working together to create a Minecraft themed map for a fighting game. In the middle of the map was a straight line of water but the incline was too steep to actually climb out of it. I wondered out loud if platforms would be a better solution than flattening the terrain. I then suggested that maybe an elevator could work, only to be reminded that those were only available in the level editor, not the stage editor. “What did we always have to remember about elevators again?” they asked. I recalled that it always required a location and a state, even though that knowledge was not useful to us at this time.
