Niverton Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hey, today I wanted to build an elevator using Redstone In Motion and ComputerCraft. I made it, it's almost finished, the problem is that it's slow. It takes around 1.6 second to move one block (in singleplayer, so it'll be slower on a server I think). It'll be fine if I only wanted to move it in short spaces, but I wanted it to go down a quarry hole. Is there any way to speed it up ?

dwwojcik Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 As far as I know, it can't be sped up. You can make it go instantly with translocators if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niverton Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 That's not really instantly, because it takes time to teleport the thing. I'll try and see if it takes less time to teleport it rather than moving it over long distance, thanks. By the way, do you know how does the translocators work ? Because as far as I've seen, they just teleport to each other randomly. Is there a way to choose where it is gonna be transported ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm afraid I don't know quite how they work. You are only using 2, right? I know that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niverton Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I was wondering if I could use three translocator, put one at the top, one at the middle and one at the bottom of my elevator shaft, so my program chooses whereas it's faster moving or teleporting to the closest translocator to the destination. I can't find a tutorial on the web explaining how they work exactly. It seems the translocator that will be used as destination is the newest one placed in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogueclon946 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Use qcraft portals or warp doors :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niverton Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Use qcraft portals or warp doors Easy way to go around the problem, but that's not what I'm looking for. These are a lot less fun to make and use I found in the config a line to change the speed of the movement, but it seems there's a minimum value, and the change isn't really noticeable (or I did something wrong). A friend and I are now working on a mod that will allow us to have an elevator that fits us, that will be really fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
