VCZ Multifloor Cargo Elevator Remote Control

Description
This script is a Remote Control via Antenna for my Multifloor Cargo Elevator.
It will not work for anything else.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Receiving signal:
To receive signal, have an antenna on the same grid as this PB. No other setup is needed.

Sending signal:
Have an antenna on the grid from which you want to send messages.
Attach PB to Toolbar with argument in the following format:
{ElevatorID}Floor OR {ElevatorID}Stop
"ElevatorID" is the block number of the elevator you want to control. You will find that in Custom Data in Control Panel,
"Floor" is the number of the floor where you want to send the elevator (if 0 it will send a STOP signal),
"Stop" sends a signal to STOP the elevator regardless if it has reached a floor or not.
(This is NOT case sensitive and you can also use 0)

Hello, I experimented with your script and got a working version now. I used this as inspiration:

Here you can find the code for the modified script. Hope its useful to you

I had the same issue with not being able to control it from the inside. The solution for me was to weld up the moving platform. Appearantly it was not completed yet.

It's fine. I was just using it as an attempt at actually controlling the elevator. It would have been nice, but if I can get the manual mode to work...

It looks like they finally removed the old way of receiving and transmitting messages. :(
I am sorry but this will not be fixed soon.

Ah, sorry. I thought the bug report for this not working at all was more pressing. I'll also leave a report more in-depth on the main mod. Here's the message that pops up when I hit 'check code' on the programmable block that has this script. I then link to the block using the G menu with the argument for the floor that I want and nothing seems to happen. I tried both with the full elevator address, and by filling in the single elevator option in the script itself, but neither did anything.

That's an odd issue to have. I'll take a look at this and if it's working correctly.
But I am more interested in why you can't control it from the inside. Can you tell me more about that? And also why didn't you post a bug report there if you were having such an issue?

Doesn't seem to function at all anymore, sadly. I was trying to use this as a workaround for the cargo elevator, as I can't seem to manually change floors from inside it either. The only way to get it to move is to travel to the outside of the elevator on a different floor and call it there. Kinda frustrating.
