That would actually be very handy, but I see one flaw in your example about Johnny. If he really didn't like doing it, why wouldn't he lock the door? Even iron doors, when locked, don't need a lever. It works exactly like a regular wooden door, but other than that its great. It's annoying when you have lights that are supposed to stay off or on, so u lock the lever so no one can change it. Then as you suggested, he has to type /unlock then /lock (/cremove and /cprivate) which can be a real pain in the donkey :D

 

Ohhhhh cuomo. Always brightening up our pointless, minecraft infected days...
lol

 

I agree!

I installed a button to activate my wheat harvest and then locked it, only to find out i have to unlock it each time I'm ready to use it. Only reason I locked it was to keep someone from pushing the button (early, randomly, maliciously, accidently) and ruining my crop harvest.

If I can lock a chest so only I can use it, why can't I lock a button/level so that only I can use it?

This is already part of the LWC plugin. After locking them, all you have to do is set the redstone flag to "ON" on both the lever/button and whatever the lever/button is operating (if applicable, i.e. door/etc.)

Well, no the only thing you can lock that is operated by a lever/button is a door/iron door. If you're just wanting to operate redstone lamps then I think all you need to do is set the flag on the lever/button and it should work.

EDIT: I just tried it on my redstone lamp wheat farm, you actually need to /lock the lever and then turn the redstone flag "ON". The wiki is wrong, it's actually the opposite of what the wiki says. It definitely works though, just (/lwc flag redstone on) on your lever after you lock it and it works great.

So basically do the following to your lever:

Code:

/lock
/lwc flag redstone on

 

Good idea but then random people would lock the buttons for the safe and no one could open it. :p
^ shouldn't stop this idea from going through.

 

It already works. Its part of lwc. They added the redstone flag to lwc to prevent people from putting pressure plates/buttons/levers next to your locked doors and bypassing the lwc protection to open them.
