ExtCreations Signs Tutorial (Outdated) - Historical

Lifts(top)

When you click a lift sign you will be teleported to another lift sign at a different Y coordinate, which means that all lift signs must be in a straight line if you want them to connect to each other.

First line(top)

This line is optional.

Write the name of the floor. When arriving at this sign a chat message will say Floor: Floorname; color codes can be used. If the line is left blank the chat message will read You went up/down a floor.

Second line(top)

Write [lift up] if you want to travel upwards to another lift sign. Write [lift down] if you want to travel downwards to another lift sign. Write [lift] if you want to create an arrival sign which you cannot depart from.

Third and fourth line(top)

This line is optional.

You can write anything here, for example an informative message which could inform users about the lift sign destination.
