Hi guys, i started to play minecraft like eight or nine months ago, because i found redstone very fun and interesting but i have a lots of question, long time ago i've made a elevator (piston push other piston) not the typical elevator, but it didnt work because of this http://sphotos-h.ak....665639132_n.jpg i cannot connect that sh*t >:C, could anyone help me?
because of what? thats how redstone is, Have a look at SETHBLINGs youtube, He explanes it all from the basics
Not really. Vertical transmission does work that way, just not yet. Right now, glowstone is a solid block, but in a later update it becomes transparent, yet redstone dust can still be placed on top of it. This is also true with any type of half slab. This allows you to use what is called "Glowstone Logic". It works in the same way any transparent block does with redstone.
A signal cannot be passed "through" a transparent block. This is why glass is often used as a 0 in a piston tape. Using dust, a signal can pass diagonally under a transparent block. Using this, you can do what the OP is trying to achieve, instant vertical transmission. Alternatively, since a transparent block can't be powered, a line of dust can't send a signal downwards diagonally from a transparent block. It may look connected, but really it's not. The reason this works with solid blocks is because powered dust on top of them are also powering the block itself. The redstone dust travelling down the side of a block is just a graphical feature, the block itself is actually what is powering the line of dust one meter below. Using this feature, glowstone can be used to avoid accidental BUDs. Originally, you have to use a repeater for this, adding extra delay.
Hope that helps in your quest of understanding Redstone Theory.
