I heard you guys could call sounds now. Would be cool to place a sign under a block and trigger a sound when the player stepped ontop of it. ex: [Sounds] SoundId# Various other things could be included too. Repetition, different ways to trigger, ect. Most I could think off the top of my head at the moment. Then you could just have a custom server resource pack and play your own on command or whenever you needed them.
Sounds pretty simple with one possible complication. "Under a block" can mean a lot of things for a sign. It can be placed upright on a post, or it can be attached to a block face. Another possible pitfall is it would have to monitor the PlayerMoveEvent which gets called a lot and with enough players, constantly checking for a sign under the location they move to it could lead to a lot of lag.
Erm, how did MinecartMania do it? Maybe there's a different event for Minecart detection. If it's that consuming, how's a redstone signal like a pressure plate?
I've not used MinecartMania, but I would venture a guess they use a detector rail or something similar, which would be a redstone event. Redstone events can fire a lot too, but not near the volume of player move event.
Oh nono They had a feature in MM where you would just place a sign under or- Oh I remember it now The cart passing by would check for signs within a 3 block radius? maybe... either way, -around a track within a 3 block radius (or however you specified it in the config) which would allow you to change the carts direction, speed, ect. How's Redstone --> Jukebox with a sign on it that says [Sounds] [Id#]?
Originally I was thinking it would matter for the coordinates but now that I think about it more, placing it on a block face would still be the same "Block" coordinates as if it were a sign post since it's the block that it's in, not the block that it's attached to. It doesn't matter, I think he can get what he needs from the command block.
