[Idea] Messenger track kit

Messenger track kit would be a track kit which tells some message to the player riding on the cart when a cart carrying the player passes by. They can be disabled via redstone signal (or enabled by that). This would be somewhat useful.

The track might somewhat be controlled by a routing table, checking conditions for the messages.

This feature may be very helpful to designs of train stations.

Oh, that's not a bad idea. I can see the uses for it.

commented

i am aupporting this idea too. seems pretty neat. :)

heh

I like this idea as well.

i wpuld also wound like a broadcaster track. does the same but in a radius... good to know that trajn is arriving or when crossing a road block.

commented

@Joshwoo70 Or add a mode to the track kit, like lockdown tracks.

commented

Maybe we can use /tellraw syntax in there.

commented

another feature to add to this, maybe allow it to play an audio file (placed in world save) though this may be a little too complicated

commented

@bballboy2002 This needs a custom resource pack if the audio is from the server.

This needs a custom resource pack if the audio is from the server.

Not entirely. (Research Computronics tape drives.) But I feel like a chat message would be sufficient.

commented

It is possible to send packets also, but is way more costly.

commented

Personally I don't think it fits the theme. And it's probably not worth it to code (I wouldn't know since I don't even know Java.) Something neat I suppose but a chat message would work well enough.

commented

I just came up with a better idea for it: text-to-speech. It's what I really wanted to do with the audio files anyways and might be easier to code.

commented

I don't know if Java supports it

commented

@liach you vould reference the google translate api

commented

Probably custom text components
