My friend an I made a self rising bridge.

When we turned it on. It only gets powered half way.

So we came up with a way to power the whole thing

The problem is it turns on just fine but it won't turn off

The lever is the source of power so you would think that they all would shut off. But instead it has self sustaining power. So Is this a glitch or is there some way around this?

For goodness sake...

Looks like he only has repeaters from those pics

Thanks It said I wasn't allowed to post pics

And yes it only made of repeaters.

I think what's happening is that you added added a repeater to extend the reach of the power, but that repeater is feeding back on itself. If a repeater is fed back to itself and then powered it will stay on forever, IIRC. You should remove the redstone that is connecting back to the input side of that repeater.

You need to remove the redstone running parallel with the redstone repeaters that are extending the power.

no clue. no power to those blocks it looks like.

Why are you using so many repeaters? Wouldn't just a line of redstone connecting the pistons be enough, with a single repeater halfway down to extend the reach?

You can't post pictures without having over a certain number of posts. Don't give the poor guy grief.

You cannot have redstone connecting to pistons like that... Having, redstone, repeater, redstone, repeater, etc, will make the pistons work

The pics in Syrzan's posts seem to disagree with you?

He is correct, it does not work like that AT ALL for the Xbox version. I have tried it numerous times and many different ways, only wire + repeater + wire works.

I know I had issues where somehow a Piston was receiving power when it shouldn't have been, and honestly, I never figured out some of the problems I had, but usually it was due to an extended piston receiving power accidentally. However, my guess is that adding that repeater partway through to make sure the charge reaches the pistons at the end is looping the charge.

much easier to explain with pictures, so here goes:



and a look at the extension:

Thanks man that really helps out a lot . Save us a lot of time on building.
