Inefficient (in terms of animation use, prop use, region use, code required to make it work) and prone to failure - counting on a series of triggered small collisions really isn't going to work any better than just animating one collision slowly.

Of course no, I haven't tried this and you are welcome to, but I'm pretty sure that trying to recreate what's mentioned here is a futile gesture.

Of course like I said, I am only guessing here, and you are welcome to try and prove me wrong. It's possible to work something out for a single player, and maybe even multiple players, but it would be tricky, potentially sloppy, and more-than-likely prone to failure.

I'm not trying to be a negative nancy here, but whenever someone posts "can I do such-and-such" I'll always play devil's advocate, because very rarely is it thought through all the way. Try it if you want.

Nonono, I wasn't saying that I thought of doing that, just spawning ideas. I that the previous idea was thought of at the "man cannon" gravlift, so that's why I told my idea.
