Command Blocks in Creative?

    Is there any way to program command blocks in Creative or maybe add it as a VIP perk? I was able to place command blocks but wasn't allowed to program it without OP.

    The reason they are not allowed is probably because command blocks can mess things up pretty badly. Not to mention there are a lot of ways to troll with them.

    Basically I was just wanting to set up a multiple floor lift using commands like

    /tp @p ~ ~4 ~

    to send you up and down the lift. I tried setting one up using the FalseBook lifts but it's too limited for what I had in mind.

    That pluggin looks pretty cool, but I would be hesitant to add it given just how easy it is to abuse command blocks (replace @p with @r or @a and see how many people get annoyed). You might be able to blacklist @r and @a as well, but I can't tell from the thread. Likewise even if people use commands correctly, unless the area is protected anyone could come along and add a clock to it (currently anyone with the ability to use command blocks also has access to WG regions to protect them).

    Just playing devil's advocate, feel free to keep discussing.

    I would say the same as Z, they would also incrase the power of lag machines exponentially, as a quick clock hooke up to the most simple of commands would give way to massive amount of lag.

    That being said, maybe we could just give VIPs the signs that the peeps in survival have? Like [lift] and [gate], I don't see that much harm in doing that.

    Yeah you get the Craftbook signs with VIP I so I can do the basic lifts but I was trying to do something a bit different and the functionality of the lift signs didn't work well with my idea.

    StephenP67 have you tried two columns of lift signs side by side? One column only have lift up and the other column only have lift down. That should allow you to make a multifloor lift where you can go up or down at anytime by clicking on the desired sign.

    multifloors can be done with signs. It isnt always pretty but can be done
    for example i have some at /warp blacklotus around the ground floor outside

    Basically I was trying to set up a traditional sort of elevator with buttons for each floor. I set up for instance level three out of six floors was.

    Lift down
    Lift down
    Lift down
    Lift
    Lift up
    Lift up

    I was hoping that it would skip all the signs in between but it just goes to the next sign. So if you are on level six and want to get to level three you have to hit the button for level 3 three times as it stops at the next lift down sign. I thought maybe I could stagger the signs and link back to the lift buttons using redstone but it's only triggered if it is directly on the back of the block with the lift button.

    Might be time to learn Java.

    why dont you make a redstone elevator
    concept
    click button
    step on stairs
    moves you to the floor of the button

    i dont know if it works in 1.7 but it works in 1.5

    Yeah I considered that but it looks like too much effort for too clunky a result. I was hoping for something a little more elegant.

    I wanted to make a clock tower that chimed loudly, but alas, only ops can use command blocks. I wish an op could come set a command block for you if you use /modreq. So useful...

    And broadcast to the entire server? That sounds more annoying than useful...

    Plus we have broadcast plugins already, so that would just make it extremely redundant xD

    A block which says "ding" in chat when given a redstone pulse isn't really that useful.

    If you make a modreq for this I can do it for you.

    That would be awesome Sharqman, although there would be 30 blocks to program. I might do that when I am further along with my build. Thanks heaps.
