Temporary Elevators

[cucumberdude]

Hi, i was just building and was getting fed up of using waterblocks as elevators when i thought, hey! i should make an elevator system! Quites simple actually, its a fully functional elevator system. It has one glitch: if you change floors it will place you into the center of the elevator. You'll need the player transform event addon.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A DEMO, NOT A REAL BUILD SO NO FLAMING ABOUT THE APPEARANCE PLZ! kthnx

Perfect for low rises (at least until trader finishes his elevator add-on) However, once you get higher than 3-4 floors, you need to do something like make your player only move up one floor at a time. Not much harder, but it would take a long time in bigger buildings (My WTC recreation has 70 floors)

ermm, lemme see... (5x2)-1...If u want authentic button positions, than ya, u can only have 9 floors but if u use the back wall for the button area... 30 floors. But rly, it would take so long to program the elevator for more than thirty floors that even with more space the whole thing would become obsolete.
Edit: I looked at your WTC build, It's an empty shell! no wonder its 70 floors! but if u did want to make an elevator, u could just make three different shafts. (as in, 1-30, 30-60, 60-70)

with every thirty floors just making the buttons would take a while.

No, there's actually a central core, staying authentic to the WTC design. In the real things, there were three disjointed stairwells, about 100 odd elevators (the towers were broken up into sections, as were the elevators. There were local and express elevators, providing each successive elevator providing varying degrees of access to different sets of floors) and maintence equipment.

The main shaft is the only way to get between floors, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a macro'd stair in there.

I'm honestly surprised that no one thought to make elevators before this.  For being the first to put this on the gallery I say congrats.  However, this is a fairly simple thing to do.

I already made this a while ago.

Me too :O

first post I've seen...

[cucumberdude]

Well yeah, its simple. But effective.

In the Blocko word server they use this add-on for the ferris wheel

Why Do Noobs build everything with as much 1x5 and 1x1 as possible?

and i actually thought of this, and did it, before he did. just didn't post it ;)
