Question for wad creators:

My gimmick in this map is elevators that use the 'platform raise wait lower' function. The start low, a player/monster steps onto them, they go up, wait, come back down.

I've got a couple of elevators that operate the same way, but they first need to be lowered with a switch in order to be used like the others (pic related). They're intended to be used as a shortcut to revisit a location once it's already been reached the hard way.

If the player walks over the 'platform raise wait lower' linedef before the switch has been flipped and the elevators lowered, they do nothing. This is good, because I don't wait to raise the player into the skybox. Problem is, the switch then doesn't affect them, rendering them useless.

Can anyone think of any solutions?
