EasyElevator
Description
This plugin is no longer under developement. If any developers want to continue it, please PM me.
Thank you pie_flavor for updating to 1.9
This plugin was inspired by the plugin "bLift". But this has to be a little bigger. Well and that's what I've done. I have made a more Elevator like experience. There are no commands necessary, so this is very easy to use. I hope you will enjoy this plugin as much as i do.
Features

Important
This is my first release of this plugin. There is a big possibility, that there are still a few bugs. So I'm asking you to please report every bug you experience to me, so i can fix this.
Hey philip! Just a suggestion. Would it be possible if you can add sounds when a player reach a level? It will be very cool to hear a *Ding* so that you know that you have reach a level. By the way, it really annoys me when I am in the elevator, someone else presses a the sign. Could you make it in such a way that it will write "Elevator In Use" If someone is already in the elevator?

Hey, it doesn't work since the 1.4.6 update I believe. I'm still in the process of trying to figure out, why the elevator doesn't initialize anymore... Ill upload an update as soon as possible
You don't have to make a stone shaft. You can use anything you want for that. The only important thing is, that you use the Gold blocks on top and on the bottom and the Iron blocks on each floor. And the moving platform has to be made out of stone slaps.
EDIT:
I just updated my server to the latest development build, and the plugin works fine again.
I think this is a great plugin, however, is it required to use stone to make the shaft? Also, it worked fine, but then all of a sudden it wouldn't create an elevator when I right clicked the sign that says [EElevator]. Also, sometimes it makes the signs on the outside of all the floors but the inside one doesnt work and it wont call to the floor or work at all.
Hey, found a glitch, or I think a glitch anyways.
I was building an elevator almost exactly like the one in the tutorial, except I wanted to make one floor further from the rest- one of the stories was going to be two blocks higher. However, when I put the final touches on, the last floor wasn't being registered, nor were the end gold blocks. The first two floors were fine though. Just thought you'd like to know!
To solve the light problem, how difficult would it be to make a ceiling out of Glowstone/Jack'o Lanterns? It'd be like a real elevator with the luminescent ceiling! Anyways, this is utterly amazing, so well done. I also agree that the ability to change the materials for the elevator would be neat- like making it out of Obsidian would be really cool, or... fire!
@psycenetic
Yeah, different materials would be awesome.
Thanks for the mod!
Very nice plugin, will test it on my server.
EDIT: Ok tried one with 2 x 2 and one 1 x 1 with wooddoors, and everything works fine :).
A config.yml to set the different materials would be very cool for the future. Nice job.
@philip260897
ok...but yet i keep left clicking it ;-) and...i would still like it to be protected, because its not optimal that players by accident or intentional left click signs and brek them (and leaving the elevator useles)
@briankdk
i just visited your server and i have noticed a few things.... 1. There is no scenario where you'd have to left click the elevator sign that are at the doors, so it would be unecessary to prevent that sign from breaking when you left click it.
2. Your protection plugin disables some features of the elevator plugin, which aren't really important, but worth mentioning. (For example updating the signs next to the doors when the elevator is moving)
3. I think the reason why you can't operate an elevator when you have an item in your hand is because of the plugin that also prevents you from droping items... It is just a guess, but it has to be one other pluign that cancels the right click event when clicking a sign.
@philip260897
i have to rightclick to set what floor to go to, and left click for the elevator to start moving... if im in creativemode leftclick destroys the sign.
if i have items in my hand elevator dosent work.....
creative of survival - hotels and buildings are just more cool when they have your fucking awesome plugin !!! (the whole server looooves it !!!).
But some are complaining about the same things as i am - i think you need to test it on a creative server in Gamemode 1 - you are velcome to give my server a try ? ( i can give you Developer status so you have permission *.* ?
Server ip is: 80.72.154.63
The elevator i have build in spawn is protected with griefprevention, so the only one that can destroy the sigbs when left clicking is me..... if you build one in /warp freebuild - you will have issues with signs being destroyed.....
but...love you plugin.... but hoping the last things get fixed.....
Btw, would be great if it was possible to set ligt in the elevator without elevators fails ?
EDIT: signs somes back when being destroyed....so thats not a problem - sorry my mistake.... NO....not the one thats outside [EElevator], that one just breaks - can you somehow protect that one so that a command is needed to disable the elevator ?
@briankdk
@briankdk
I don't think there is a permission for users to build elevators. Only admins can build. Default can use it.
@briankdk
1. Why aren't you able to use the elvator with items in your Hand?
2. This is why i have added commands to control elevators. Look in the commands section...
3. Just because of curiosity, why do you use elevators, if you have creative and can fly around?
2 things.....
1. please make it possible to use elevator with items in the hand.....
2. make sign indestructable after last sign with [eelevator] has been set - so that Gamemode 1 dosent destroy sign.
im running a creative server..... and i have to change Gamemode to use my elevator - amd i have to have a empty hand - that sucks.....
Other then that - its an AWESOME plugin !!!! :-)
and what permissions do players need to have ? it looks like all need to have "easyelevator.admin", if they are supposede to both build and use elevators , or ?
does it also work if server/players are CREATIVE ?
@philip260897
It looks like it. I have to re-log every time its not updated. Is there a way to make it less laggy?
@TechChris22
This is a good idea for the future. But right now i have to work on fixing possible bugs :/
@TechChris22
i agree too, think you could add it in the future? plugins awesome though! ive never seen such a smooth elevator!
I just watched the video... and WOW.
Easily the smoothest and nicest looking elevator plugin I've seen. Great work!
Amazing plugin thanks for making it, hope you keep it updated. I agree with Chris, make a feature so you can choose a block that will output redstone upon reaching a floor so you can have piston doors ect. instead of just iron doors.
also another suggestion would be to allow torches in the elevator shaft.
Thanks, Sam.
