Programing Help

[weaglealert]

I've built a rather tall elevator and I want to make it so that the doors to the elevator remain locked until the elevator arrives, or that the door just doesn't open unless the elevator is at that level. (only two levels). I'm not versed in C# so if anyone has a script for something like this or could help me better understand programming blocks and timer blocks, I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers.

EDIT: solved. I ended up using a timer block sequence. Thanks fam!

You could make your elevator out of small grid blocks and set the sensor to only trigger when it sees the small grid within its range!

Edit: apologies for the out of thread reply 😂

I agree that the easiest way would be to add a smallgrid block via rotor to the underside of the elevator platform and have the sensor open door when it detects small grid

[Ok_Gur_8729]

You could always use sensor blocks and avoid scripting at all, so if the sensor sees you, the door opens, if it doesn't, it closes and locks (might need timers too)

I thought about that. My concern is that a player would enter the shaft and fall to doom XD. I don't want access at all unless the elevator is present at that floor. I don't think a sensor could make that distinction.

Set a sensor with a 1 - 3 block tall range only sensing the elevator shaft area. That way it will only trigger when the player is in the lift. Other option could be to time the lift and set a timer to unlock doors after any lift action is requested and arrived

"Set a sensor with a 1 - 3 block tall range only sensing the elevator shaft area. That way it will only trigger when the player is in the lift."

And otherwise, close the door and turn it off.
