Pistons Creations Megathread - Games

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmEBuH4gYeA[/media] Made a simple door. This is the XOR gate it uses. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDLWe51MGWE[/url]

I'm trying to make a door using buttons, but non toggle-able, just with delayers. Anyways no matter what gate i try and use, NOR, OR, AND, they all opperate the same, and the buttons end up canceling eachother out. I need it so eather button opens up the door. I can't figure this shit out. I've seen it done here before with switches, but even those don't work, one opens it, the other locks it open. Doesn't close the door. Just locks it, and cancels eachother out. Can i not do it with buttons? Since they are constantly outputting a 0 value? i figured it out. I was inverting directly after the switches, instead of after the gate, so that was what was cancelling it out, not the buttons themselves.

I have taken it upon myself to learn red stone so I can make some amazing creations. I made a video showing my poor skills and I will make a video much like it every day until I build a masterpiece. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMWZ0VCE1Ao[/media] This was yesterdays buildings.

Finally got the video done. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmVa-thxGRs[/media] To avoid confusion, the concept was originally posted by Eltro. I said this in the last post, but I guess not everyone saw it.

Remember that redstone signals need to be refreshed as well at least every 15 blocks, so if you're making a very long delay, it should be like this: [code]O-LLL...LLL-------------<-------------<-------------<--...--- U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U ...U U B-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R...-R- B = button R = repeater facing right, set to 4 U = repeater facing up, set to 4 L = repeater facing left (see below) < = repeater facing left, set to 1 O = output - = redstone dust[/code] To keep it as compact as possible, the repeaters near the output (the L-repeaters) only need to delay it one tick more than the <-repeaters. Ideally, you'll set an appropriate number of them to 4, and adjust the last one to fit your need. Also note that this technique is inefficient for very long delays when you start getting the need to refresh the signal. Every refresh will bring at least two ticks of delay to your circuit.

[QUOTE=certified;30879582]What if we put two piston on opposite sides of a block and activated both pistons at the same time? I want to see a video on this.[/QUOTE] Simple answer: nothing.

[QUOTE=certified;30879582]What if we put two piston on opposite sides of a block and activated both pistons at the same time? I want to see a video on this.[/QUOTE] if it's anything like the mod, either nothing will happen or the block will break depending on phase of the moon

How do you guys get doors to move with pistons? Mine just break.

I saw someone make a cool elevator out of pistons and stairs. It works by pushing the player horizontally onto some stairs, which makes them "walk" up it very quickly. Don't know if this has been posted yet [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-g88GKU-wI[/media]

[QUOTE=Anonim;30880737]I tried testing that out, but then this happened: [img]http://i.imgur.com/SVHQG.png[/img][/QUOTE] If you put a piston, then a block and then the door ontop of that block the door will go up fine but when the piston closes the door gets destroyed

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB_1P-nP-4Y[/media] I dun messed up this time.

[QUOTE=James the iii;30871215]-snip- too tired. its mostly like this. then usualy a redstone sequencer. if you don't know about a sequencer just search for a forum of it on here it will show up. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/GeBKo3.png[/img][/QUOTE] Ok, so the use of a sequencer is pretty damn handy, but how can you get the piston that's been pushed out to push the block up without having any exposed redstone? Does that make any sense?

[img]http://i.imgur.com/GiGJql.png[/img] Hey guys, how do I extend the reach of these two switches on my XOR gate?

[QUOTE=EBS-Gamer;30883332][img]http://i.imgur.com/GiGJql.png[/img] Hey guys, how do I extend the reach of these two switches on my XOR gate?[/QUOTE] Replace the switches with redstone dust, lead the redstone to where you want it.

doesn't work.. what am I doing wrong :( [editline]3rd July 2011[/editline] nevermind, I did it! thanks so much :)

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;30884892]I managed to pull it off! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWhlzDrfacU[/img] I'm extremely happy![/QUOTE] I'm certain you messed something up here, but i can't for the life of me put my finger on it. Hm.

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;30884892]I managed to pull it off! [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWhlzDrfacU[/hd] I'm extremely happy![/QUOTE] Ooh did you get a clip of my temple of doom?

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;30884892]I managed to pull it off! [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWhlzDrfacU[/hd] I'm extremely happy![/QUOTE] That is the single greatest thing I have seen with Pistons yet, paired with the best music ever from one of the best movies ever made. Well done.

Made a button/pressure plate activated door: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/xgnJC.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/OivNM.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/kJ0lS.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/B5ihd.png[/thumb] All covered up: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/CFSK9.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/HFNeb.png[/thumb] It's probably extremely overcomplicated for what it is, and even though I originally wanted to make something like the gate a few posts up, I like it. [editline]4th July 2011[/editline] And yes, I made the entire entrance [I]before[/I] I actually made the floating house.

My perseverance has paid off. I figured out how to hook up an XOR gate to my double-piston-hidden-door-design so that it can be opened from either side of the door. I'm going to use this in a secret bunker I'm planning for a private server. Maybe I'll insert a system that disables the outer controls from inside to prevent tampering. Also, I figured out how Ziks moved a door using pistons without the door breaking.

I can't wait to show you guys what I've done on my server. I don't have a computer that will let me capture video and demonstrate though, so we'll have to wait a week. BTW, I have a 4x4 grid of sticky pistons working for a pool.

I made a door that leads all the way up to the top of the map, and a way to send a pulse an unlimited distance instantly. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Wu3Gm6laI[/media] Does anyone know how I could make my door operate without the horrid back wall it has to have to let one of the pistons work properly? I think I've seen it done properly in this thread somewhere, but I haven't gotten how to do it without the wall.

What do you mean pulse [editline]3rd July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;30884892]I managed to pull it off! I'm extremely happy![/QUOTE] Fuck yeah, The Uruk-Hai.

What's the best way to upload my level save?

[QUOTE=killover;30886638]What do you mean pulse[/QUOTE] [editline]3rd July 2011[/editline] The last thing I showed in the video allows for a single bit to be transmitted along the pistons, one way, after a "charge." If the circuit is closed, it will repeat this process. I was referring to it as a pulse because it could produce this signal at regular intervals.
