Would it be very hard to make the elevator move on an X,Y axis as well?
Oh god, that brings back memories of RTB for Blockland v0002... I remember making trap elevators. I'd make them go, like, 1000000 in X or Y. Then, when someone touched the, they'd be moved so quickly, they'd be trapped in a black void they can't escape. That is, unless they Self Deleted.
A sad story is, I did this on someones server, he touched it and started screaming he was trapped and crying at me. Said I hacked his game to delete him and then banned me. Dumbass didn't even figure out you had to Self Delete to get back.
My point is: Check the code for RTB's old elevators and ask for permission to use that in some way...
