Hi everyone!

I have been holding onto this one for a little while now, and have finally decided to put it up here in hopes that it may help others in the future.

The story goes like this:

I had been wanting to make an elevator powered by RedPower/WR:CBE frames and a ComputerCraft computer - although at the time I couldn't find something similar to copy so I decided to embark on this mission myself.

I am VERY new to lua, and at best can manage a couple of simple programs off the top of my head. Most of the code contained herein was pulled off random posts on this forum and all jumbled together into something that works (pretty well too if I may say so myself). So, I can guarantee that there will be bad coding inside.

The elevator can traverse across 4 floors, each of which has a destination button for the other 3 floors, and a "Call" button - which works through a "counter" file, which contains which floor the elevator is currently at.

Ok, so now some demo's.

This was the original version.

This (@ 3:38 & 5:30) has the current incarnation of the elevator.

Finally, here is the zip file with everything in it - http://downloads.xyz...tor-code-v2.zip

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this, and let me know what you think!

@Seksan2

I don't quite follow what you mean by a map. Do you mean a world download or something similar? If so, I would be unable to supply one as this is on a server, and I'm pretty sure the guys who I play with would be unhappy with me giving out the server world files.

The whole thing is based around an elevator circuit that I found on Youtube done by a chap called PyroOfZen. The video in which I refer to is here:
