Notes[]
- The Player Above sensor detects players in a 5×10-tile area above the sensor, which is outlined while placing it. In multiplayer, it will not send another signal if a player enters the detection zone while another player is already in it.
- Due to this, it is a viable and multiplayer-friendly alternative to Pressure Plate powered automatic doors.
- It will not trigger if placed while the player is inside the detection area. Instead, it will trigger upon leaving the detection zone.
Dead players or Hardcore Ghosts will trigger the detector.
- Rain can not trigger Water Sensors.
