Elevators
Modtopia and Vanillatopia players are going to love this update! The Elevators are truly awesome! I can’t say enough how much fun they are going to be for everyone and how much they will change the way you build bases. Hatches and stairs will now be more preference than requirement as you can build elevators up to 10 stories! (That’s the limit I set which I’m sure is good based on stability) Here’s some information about them:
- You can build up to 10 stories
- You can have 1 floor at every level
- You can create elevators on foundations and floors
- The elevator runs on fuel
- You can have up to 2 elevators
- You can share them with friends, clanmates or the public
- Individual floors can be accessible by friends, clanmates, public, hidden, etc.
Here’s a video and a quick and dirty explanation of how you’ll create an elevator and generally operate it.
- Look at a foundation or floor and type /newlift
- You’ll get a menu (explained below)
- Put fuel in the tuna lamp to power it
The menu you get when using /newlift is going to present to you the following:
- How many stories will the elevator be?
- At which floors should doors be placed?
- What will it cost you to build it?
- Stories will require wood and metal fragments
- Each door will require gears (not shown here)
After the elevator is built, using the Activate Key on the tuna lamp gives you the menu below
This menu allows you to
- Floor # – Door- : Add/remove doors from your elevator shaft
- Floor OnHold: Change how long the elevator will hang around
- Move Speed: Change move speed
- Lighting: Change lighting (off/always on/dynamic – comes on when you enter)
- Operating Panel: Access the panel that is inside the elevator
- Pull down lift: Allows you to destroy the elevator in total
- Door Skin: Change the skin of the door (seems a little buggy)
- Floor Sharing Options: Change who can access each floor
- Share Mode: Change who can access the elevator
- Power State: Absolutely unsure lol
- Idle Close: How long does it take the door to close on it’s own
Accessing the Floor Sharing Options within this menu will give you the menu below. This menu gives you the ability to change the access to each of the floors individually.
Lastly, when accessing the panel inside the elevator, you’ll get this menu
- Numbers when selected go to that floor
- On the right side:
- Gives you tuna lamp menu
- Opens fuel storage
- Unsure what this does lol
- Closes door
- Opens door
This is completely new so I expect some issues to creep up. In fact, I know of some things that could easily be used as exploits that I’m hoping are addressed soon. I didn’t feel like waiting until it got perfected because I saw the massive impact this plugin would make. That means, please as always, report to me the things you find with it.
Thanks for all the Bumfuzzling feedback as always! You guys are awesome! Have fun! 🙂
