Bukkit

Requirements

You will need the following components:

• Elevators 2 main plugin
• Interactive block extension
• Redstone extension (if you want to use buttons)
• Signs extension (if you want to use signs)

Note: All of the above are included in the Elevators 2 package - which you have installed when you followed the first guide's steps. There is no need to download their standalone versions. If anything is not included in the package, I will explicitely state it.

You should have read the following guides:

• Guide 1: Getting started
• Guide 2: Building on top of an elevator

Moving the elevator...

...using one button

Place a button anywhere on the elevator platform. It will be used to move the elevator both up and down, depending on where it is currently staying.

Hint: Don't forget to use /elev update after you've changed the elevator!

Now, use the following command while standing on your elevator: /elev rs move. The following message will appear on your screen:

Right-click the button you placed immediately after you entered the command. If everything went well, you will see a success message:

Congratulations! By activating the button, you can travel up and down with your elevator!

Troubleshooting: Something went wrong? What did you get?

• "You have to stand on an elevator platform or specify an elevator name!"
  Are you sure you were standing on the elevator while using the command? Maybe you should walk a little more to the elevator's center.
• "This block is not a redstone block - select another!"
  Nothing to worry about, most likely you've just clicked the wrong block. Try to right-click on your button again!
• "Aborted."
  You accidently left-clicked into the air. This will abort the command. Enter it again!
• "oops! Something went wrong. We're sorry, please contact the server admin!"
  As being said, an error occured. Maybe the plugin or an extension needs an update?
• Nothing happens. I am not getting a message after entering the command or right-clicking the button..
  Be sure to install the latest Elevators 2 components for your CraftBukkit version.

...using two buttons

Alternatively, you can use two buttons instead of one. One to go up, and one to go down. Place two buttons anywhere on the elevator platform.

Hint: Don't forget to use /elev update after you've changed the elevator!

Now, use the following command while standing on your elevator: /elev rs move up. A message as seen in the image above will appear on your screen. Right-click the button which should lead the elevator up immediately after you entered the command. If everything went well, you will see a success message.

Enter the second command /elev rs move down while standing on your elevator. Right-click the button which should lead the elevator down immediately after you entered the command. Again, you will see a success message.

Now you have two different buttons for moving the elevator up and down separately!

Calling the elevator...

Moving alone will not be enough. We need an option to call the elevator, for example if the elevator is staying at the upper floor, but someone needs it at the lower floor to go up.

...to the lower floor

Place a button anywhere near your lower floor. You can choose any location that is comfortable to reach by the elevator's users, there are no technical limitations. Go back to your elevator. Enter the following command while standing on the elevator platform: /elev rs move down. Afterwards, right-click the placed button at your lower floor.

...to the upper floor

Place a button anywhere near your upper floor. Go back to your elevator. Enter the following command while standing on the elevator platform: /elev rs move up. Afterwards, right-click the placed button at your upper floor.

Finished! You have successfully set up a couple of buttons to control and move the elevator.

Command explanation

So, are you asking yourself what the different commands mean? Let me explain them. If you are not interested, just skip this section.

Using signs instead of buttons

Just place signs instead of buttons on the elevator and close to your two floors. You may write anything you want on them. Afterwards, follow the guide as you would do for buttons, but use some different commands: In every command mentioned above, replace rs by sign. That's it!
