almost forgot to reply to this
you can implement it a number of different ways
you could check for nearby platforms and use the closest one, you could fetch the object with the GUID, you could filter by DB GUID Low, you could have 1 script per lever
I've done something very very similar with actual transports rather than just lifts (elevators).

I don't know of anywhere else in retail that controls lifts/transports with levers, and SmartAI only handles common scenarios (since each scenario needs to be implemented)

with transports I do it like this (all custom script APIs)
```lua
local transport = pUnit:CreateTransport(OBJECT.BoatTransport)
if transport then
transport:EnableMovement(false)
DATA[instanceId].TRANSPORT = transport:GetGUID()
```
So we disable movement on creation of the object.
Then to start movement I simply invoke: `ship:EnableMovement(true)`
And to have it stop at the next scripted checkpoint, I just disable movement again (it has to be a few seconds after movement started)

FYI, I just found an example of this in 3.3.5. The Tram in Ulduar. It's a type 11 transport that has a type 1 activation button.

Adding notes for anyone who looks for this. Attached is how my (working) implementation looks. (the text I accidentally cut off in pic one on line 62 is "->GetPauseTime())")

start with small edits. Test it little by little. It's very finicky, and some DBCs demand gapless IDs in order for example
