VCZ Multifloor Elevator

Description

Here is what the VCZ Multifloor Elevator includes:
+ Up to 9 floors per elevator (of course can be as little as 2).
+ Up to 200 blocks total height of the elevator (including the bottom and top floors).
+ Modular construction (so you can build an elevator according to your floor plan and not the other way around).
+ Includes filler block and double filler block for the space between floors.
+ Includes an Air Vent filler block (so you don't suffocate inside your own elevator).
+ Selectable speed up to 20m/s.
+ 4 different Cabin Music tracks (can be disabled from the Control Panel of the main Elevator block).
+ Adjustable light inside the cabin with controls for Color, Range and Intensity.
+ Control from toolbars like Cockpits, Timers, Sensors, etc.

What are the included blocks:
Main Elevator blocks:
VCZ Elevator Rotor Base - Main ELevator block that goes at the bottom of your elevator. Use VCZ Elevator Middle or VCZ Elevator Middle Double for your first floor instead of VCZ Elevator Bottom. First floor can have Fillers or Filler Vent between it and the Base.
VCZ Elevator Rotor - Main Elevator block that goes right above VCZ Elevator Bottom. This is the old way to build an elevator and is useful if you don't have space under the first floor.

Floor blocks:
VCZ Elevator Bottom - The block for the first floor if you are not using VCZ Elevator Rotor Base;
VCZ Elevator Middle - The block used for any other floor between the first and the last;
VCZ Elevator Middle Double - Same as VCZ Elevator Middle but 2 blocks tall for a floor level with half blocks;
VCZ Elevator Top - The block for the last floor;

Filler blocks:
VCZ Elevator Filler - A filler block to place between floors.
VCZ Elevator Filler Double - A 2 blocks high filler block to place between floors.
VCZ Elevator Filler Vent - Same as above but also works as an Air Vent.

How to find the blocks:
All blocks are available in the G-Menu in a separate group called "VCZ Mod Blocks".
Also you should be able to find VCZ Elevator Rotor Base as a main block with mouse-scrollable options for the other blocks in the main (All Blocks) G-Menu screen.

How to build it:
1. Start with the block VCZ Elevator Bottom or VCZ Elevator Rotor Base.
2. (skip this step if you used VCZ Elevator Rotor Base) Directly on top of it place VCZ Elevator Rotor.
3. Place filler blocks and middle floors until you reach your top floor (or the maximum height).
4. There place the block "VCZ Elevator Top".
5. That's it! Hop in and start riding your new elevator. ;)

Please, don't build blocks that stretch outside of their block size right next to the elevator shaft to avoid having clang related problems.
Known blocks that cause such problems:
Gravity Generator


Varied construction components for different blocks.


The Floor blocks are Advanced Door type of blocks and are controlled by a script. If you are using any type of script for automatic door control either as a Programmable block version or as a mod version, please refer to it's documentation and find the tag that's used to exclude doors from being controlled (usually [Excluded] or something similar) and add it to the name of all Floor blocks.

Works on Dedicated Servers and Player hosted multiplayer!

Works on moving grids.
Keep in mind that the cabin will be removed when the ship starts turning and will be added again when it stops. If the elevator is in use the cabin will be removed when the player gets out of the elevator.

Please report any bugs you may encounter.
I have tested it thoroughly and in various different situations but I am sure I may have missed something.

I made 2.5 km tunnel downwards. Will have to make quite a few elevators ))))

@Panzerwiesel: this mod is deprecated, remove it from your world and use "VCZ Elevator V2.0" instead. This should help.
Panzerwiesel 24 Dec, 2024 @ 1:06am 
I dont know what I did wrong, but its not an elevator for me. The cabin just rotates and the numbers all say null
demongo1154 15 Nov, 2024 @ 4:21pm 
shame it caps at 200 blocks, was hoping to use it as part of a space elevator

@TK_Over50
you mean besides you are on the workshoppage of the wrong mod? this mod has the modid 1154898843 and the mod having the problem has the modid 2575155978

it could be file corruption, a mod conflict or beeing incompatible with the version of space engineers you use its hard to tell with just a snipped of the log.

What does this mean? I don't even sub/use this mod.

Here is a working version.

Check your VCZ_MultifloorElevator.cs file. Line 185. That line should read

bool elevatorEnabled = Elevator.IsPowered && Floors.ElevatorReady && Elevator.CabinReady && elevatorFunctional && Elevator_Block.HasLocalPlayerAccess();

That "Elevator.IsPowered" part stands out in particular.
