I am attempting to make a contraption that when you push one button you fall through a hole, and when you push another button next to it you fall through the same hole, but that button has a trap that guides you to a separate location.
Basically I have the redstone wired to 4 sticky pistons that pull blocks out from under you to create a 2x2 hole in which you fall through. When you push both buttons the hole opens like it should. The problem is, when I want only 1 of the buttons to power the second contraption. I cannot get that to happen, every method I try, both buttons end up powering the second contraption as well as the hole.
It's the way you have your redstone by the buttons. Try a repeater on the other side of a button facing outward (opposite direction of the button), it'll differentiate the two redstone paths.Or if it's later in the path use a repeater to force the current just one way.

If anyone wants to play Bauldur's Gate (1, 2, or enhanced) or Icewind Dale PLEASE PM me. I'd like to play.

hoping this works.. so if i split the redstone from the button with a repeater it is supposed to work?
The button that is only supposed to open the trap door is the bottom left one. The rest of the buttons are supposed to open the trap door and also power the piston in the top right of the picture (which is just a test for the secondary room that will open when you fall through the hole.
This is the wiring on the other side of the wall.
Note: The redstone torches that power the pistons and then un-power them when a button powers the dust are now turning off after the first try, so the pistons aren't closing. why? they were working last night, am I doing something wrong?
If you want to isolate the buttons on the bottom, Take this for example (you can implement it into your design once you know what I mean)
You want to be using a repeater as a diode to stop the current flowing one direction.
your bottom right button have a repeater pointing away from the button.
On your bottom left button behind it you would have 1 redstone dust, and behind that a repeater facing towards the button. Now Im not sure what you were having a problem with, but if you wired the bottom right button around to that repeater facing the button (for bottom left button) that button will activate the same as that button, but the bottom left would still be independant (just wire from the redstone dust (I can make a pic if my typing has confused you lol, cause its confused me)

ummmm yeah, your typing confused me.. ahhah im not that advanced. do you have xbox version? could you just show me?
Id love to jump on and help you, but im holiday visiting my mum and younger siblings so no access to an xbox.
As pictured here, '1' (being bottom left button has its own independant circuit. (because of the repeater pointing into it not allowing current to flow that way)
I still not quite sure what the outcome you are trying to achieve, from what I got you wanted the bottom left button to do its own thing.
The button 2 being connected to that repeater is like pressing button 1 and 2.

Anyone know how to do this/fix this?
Thanks
