Upwards Motion -

Trigger_Push can be set to cause upwards motion.

But there's a catch -- the motion doesn't happen until the player makes an upwards motion.

The player can be in the middle of an upwards Trigger_Push, but the Push effect doesn't happen until the player jumps or steps up.

You can force the effect by putting in a short riser (say, 8 units) which causes the player to step up.

Another approach is to use a "bumper entity" which makes an upwards motion when the player makes contact -- for instance, see Jump Pads.
