Hi, all. I'm in need of some help. A friend and I are planning on building a spaceship in the sky of our server world. We're the admins so we have access to command blocks and that's about the extent of our abuse of power, everything else is done in survival mode.
Onto what I need help with.
Given that I'm a fan of Star Trek (not the horrible Abrams movies, though), I want to have a transporter room on the ship. That's a given as far as I'm concerned. We currently have a transporter room in the basement of our main base, complete with light-up transporter pads and selectable destinations. Flip a switch or two, hop on the pad, and hit the button (or have Scotty or O'Brien do it) and you're transported. There's a whole mess of redstone and command blocks making the whole thing work right, as you can imagine. So much so that my friend doesn't want to recreate it on the ship. I'm fine with this since I only want one way onto the ship and the ship's transporter to send the person to the main base.
Sky bases are fun and having one on a server that friends can't get into is also fun. But I want my non-admin friends to be able to easily get to the ship and from there to the main base. This is where my problem comes from. Because I'm a Trek fan, I want it set up so that any player can type 'One to energize!' in the chatlog and be teleported to the ship. Is that possible, having a non-admin player say a phrase and activating a command block that teleports them? If not saying a phrase, something they can carry and use to activate the teleporter (like a communicator)?
I appreciate any help you guys can provide, even if it's to say that it's not possible.
I'm fairly certain it's possible, but not with the phrase. Holding an item to trigger something is very possible, and if you could designate a certain item slot where you would place that certain item, then when you put the item in that slot it would activate some redstone thus teleporting you to the ship. Now, i'm not exactly sure HOW to do this, but I know it's very possible. If someone more knowledgeable than I with these types of things comes in then perhaps they can give you the exact commands... good luck!
