Im new to MC but have been following it for the past 6 months to a year (watching cool creations on youtube for pc). What really got me interested in the game (other then your everyday building) was watching people create traps and all these cool machines that can do these various things. This was the reason I bought the game. So moving on....
I go on youtube to see what traps/contraptions i can make with the same items found in the xbox version and found that a lot of the traps/contraptions do not work, and I followed the ideas step by step.
Example: If i use a door (attached to a switch) that is holding back rushing water and i flip the switch to open the door to allow water to come through, the water just sits there when it should be able to flow through. This method also doesnt work when using a trap door(no water flow when trap is open). I know the versions are on diff platforms but the physics should somewhat be the same.
There are a few other things... But I would really like to ask...
Q: Will players on xbox360 be able to create the same kind of cool contraptions that we see on PC version? Also, will the water physics be fixed? Or are these things just not possible to do anymore?
I apologize if I am not explain the issue correctly.
Not as elaborate though, or as complex, since the implementation of Pistons hasn't been added yet, until the next update which is 1.7, it is the first update we get for XBLA.
Well, your door and water trick was never going to work in the first place, xbox360 version or not. The block takes up a whole block, not just the little sliver it appears to be. So in turn, technically even if the door is open the block of water cannot get through. Same with trapdoors as well. An easy fix to your problem would most likely be sticky pistons, but, it has not been added to MC360.

As for Mechanisms, We have yet to get pistons so we're screwed on that front.
this is a floodgate using a cactus, however you wont be able to reset it. I hope pistons are added soon
