Is it planned to make turtles to be able to push the player or other moveable objects (like mobs (e. g. cows) can do it) in some near feature in the turtle API? Something like turtle.up(true), or is it already possible and I just don't find it in the documentation? Would be nice to make simple elevators or train locomotives, etc.

You can sort of make the turtle move you up if you jump constantly, but I don't think it can actually push you.

1. It was suggested to make items, players and mobs to be moved by turtles like by pistons. (if it proper sentence)
2. If you jump on your turtle moving up, you will fall down.
3. You can try to use your turtle to use pistons to move you, but …

A moving turtle is not solid, so you can move through. However, timed properly, you can fall on the turtle when it has finished to move up.3. You can try to use your turtle to use pistons to move you, but …
But piston placement was ****. I did not checked, but I read that now (1.64 and after), placed pistons are facing away from turtles, so it's a valid option.Depending on what you plan, you can use the knock back of turtle.attack(), or the flow of water/lava (turtle.place() with a fulll bucket in selected slot)Edited on 18 November 2014 - 05:30 PM

If solid moving blocks are present in game already, I cannot see why Turtle cannot.
With some latest problems of myself, I did not checked latest placement too.
For the same reason I plan nothing now.
Still would be nice.

This is an interesting concept, however I done see why its needed at that moment. Sure turtle elevators would be cool, buts that's about all you can use this for.
