I decided to man up and build a portal to the Nether and see what the hubbub was about, but then inspiration struck! Being a long-time Stargate fan, I couldn't help but try my hand at kind of recreating the gate room from SG1. Now, I pretty much failed at scaling it down, but that's okay. What I need help with is making redstone wiring for some of the features in the gate area.
If you're a fan like myself, you'll remember that the gate room had two entrances on the sides, both able to be closed from the control room. I've replicated this with iron double-doors, and I'd like to have buttons on either side of the doors to open/close them, BUT I'd also like to have a switch inside the control room to close and lock the doors. Could someone do a quick diagram on how to do this (with the blocks in the BBCode editor or something, of course)?
Also, I'm trying to do an iron door iris for the gate (doors in front of the portal to prevent use), which will probably be the easiest to do, as the doors would be controlled by a switch in the control room.
Finally, I'm going to be putting TNT around the portal, as the blast will allegedly knock out the portal (the structure remaining though, of course). Supposedly, Notch is going to allow Nether mobs to spawn close to a portal in the overworld in the future, so a remote cutoff ability would be nice. That should be easy enough to do by running a redstone wire from a button in the control room. The Button will probably be behind glass, have a "Break in case of Emergency sign" on top, the usual :SSSS:.
tl;dr I could use some help making remote switches for iron doors, would you mind helping me?
