hey i have been trying to get pistons to work right, right now i have two pistons working as a door when i press the lever they will open and when i stand on a pressure plate it closes and opens if stood on again but i want it so the pistons only close when standing on the pressure plate not open, like an exit only that closes when you leave

Do you want them to open when you walk through them and stay open until you step on them again? Or do you want it so every time you step on it they close, and when you step off they open?

If you want them to stay open after you step on and off until you step on it again then you're gonna need to use a T-Flip Flop, there are many different designs you can find on YouTube for this.

If you want them to close when you're not on the pressure plate then you're gonna need to invert the signal with a redstone torch and a signal going into the block the torch is on.

If neither of these answer your question I'll see what I can do to help.

Try replacing your lever with a button.

Or you can connect both the lever and pressure plate to the same t flip flop

i got it to stay closed now thanks
