i want to wire a lift with two consoles. One above and one below the lift. the console above the lift should start it, so it goes to the ground the one below should be used to get the lift up again but i cannot figure out how to do so.
>.> is this nightly? i'm not sure i knew lifts existed. do they just cycle up and down endlessly by default? i assume you want the lift to stop at the bottom or top depending on which way it's going? do you want to be standing on the lift when you activate the console? can pressure plates be put on the lift?
it's not nightly but the actuall steam-build. by default it cycles up and down endlessly but the moment i put a console to the lift it just goes down or up and then stands still.
Just a small correction (or rather a nitpick realy): Nightly is one of the three steam builds (stable, unstable and nightly). As far as i know the only way to access the nightly is with steam. So nightly is one of the "actual steam-builds". Now, to the issue at hand. Try wireing a single switch to the elevator, then wire two buttons (on at the top and one at the bottom) to the switch. Consoles behave like switches (a on and a off mode), i think a buttons would work better with the setup your trying to do (sends a short on signal) with a switch in between (locks the signal as either on or off and you can change it with either button). Unless im mistaken the elevator will go to one end when its off and another when its on. While there are (at least i belive so) ways to get your consoles (switch) to behave like buttons (without modding) it gets realy complicated so its not realy worth the effort. Also (just incase someone dosen't know), you can make buttons and switches at the wire bench.
How can i use the nightly build? I only have stable and unstable which seem to be the same right now. I will try it with buttons because with consoles it did not work. I've read something about that they would change the elevators in the full version so maybe i should just wait.
if you have starbound from steam, on the unstable entry on your game list, right click and go to properties. the far right tab is "betas". the dropdown box in there, select "nightly".
