There you go.

Each time you press the button the pistons switch which side the block covers.[/QUOTE]
If space is not a problem for you, you can make this work faster by shortening the pulse of the input button(s) using as RS NOR latch and a repeater for delay. (At least that's how I did it). As of now the toggle happens when the switch shuts off.
First time using redstone and pistons, I managed to create a horizontal block switcher. It was much harder than a vertical one...

It's not as fast though, since it had some weird timing problems and I had to use multiple repeaters.
When you take away power from a set of pistons, how would you be able to do it so they dont all retract at the same time?

Repeaters?
[QUOTE=Mattyyyy;31329843]Repeaters?[/QUOTE]
Tried that, it only seems to work when they push out though.
Repeaters. There's many ways to do that, one of them is to have a signal line running a few blocks behind the pistons and a one (or several) repeaters branching off of the line to the piston. Then just fiddle with the repeaters' delays.
[editline]25th July 2011[/editline]
Also, remember that, for each piston, the delay for turning on is the same as the delay for turning off. So the first piston to extend will be the first piston to retract, same goes for the second, etc etc.
If you want them to retract in reverse order, you might need to play with clocks or with feeding several lines to each piston.

I can make them retract not at the same time, upload screenies of what you're trying to do, and the wiring.
Spent an hour or so making a double sliding door which didn't work. After ages of tweaking it I find out it didn't work because of the north facing rule thing, what a crippling bug.
Looking for a good way to hide a switch for a secret door? Wire a pressure pad in a hold behind a painting. Toss something on the pressure pad. Hidden door opens. Walk through hidden door. Pick up item. Hidden door closes.

Placing torches is also a good way

I was working on a secret entrance that would be activated by a lever in plain sight, the lever in question would only open the secret entrance when you had removed a particular torch in the room.

Wow. That's brilliant :v:
I made a door that opens like that, and then it has a button for the other side.
How would I make a cascading door, such as:
When I hit a switch and it turns "ON"
Pistons retract in this order: 1,2,3,4
And when I hit the switch back to "OFF" -position
Pistons extend in opposite order: 4,3,2,1
I can't really explain it, but just google "cascading" to understand it better. :v:

Connect up the first sticky piston with a repeater with setting 1, the second with setting 2, the third with setting 3 and the fourth with setting 4.
Along with extending current, that is the most important use for repeaters - delays.

You need a sequencer

What? How about just using 4 repeaters?
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5062494/junk/mc_simple_delay.gif[/img]
And if you want a larger delay between the blocks moving just use more repeaters to make the difference in delay larger.
edit:
Oh wait I see he needs it going in reverse order
Yeah I guess a sequencer is the way to do it.

Except that with 4 repeaters, the one that extended first will also retract first

SgtTupelo wants it to work in a different way. To extend 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 and then to retract 4 first then 3 then 2 then 1.

I place a button onto a block close to the floor, and attack it. It's connected to a toggle so it stays open until I get below to hit the other button. That way no one knows where to place the button and I get a secret hidy hole.

Is it just me, or when you place a painting, then remove any of the blocks the painting is in front of, the painting pops off?
put a door in the hole in the wall and it won't

Put a sign behind it.
I made a piston puller for some reason. I think it might come in handy, not even sure why I made it.

Welp, it was supposed to be a cool little door I was going to make secretly into my friends cave/warehouse. I guess I'll ditch that idea. :v:
Is there a site with blueprints stuff because, just like with WIRE in GMod, I can't be fucked learning this redstone bullshit.
I want to make a 3x3 piston door. Can anyone make or post a good tutorial on one? The only one I found was sped up and had some shitty motion blur, so you couldn't see anything. And it randomly skipped important stuff.
