I suggest that you learn through searching logic gates and such, not just copying from videos, because then you are not learning.
I have to disagree with this(not to flame and argument). When I was first starting out I learned about logic gates but was having a hard time with the application. When I copied a complicated system I could then walk my self through everything and get a better understanding. I am not an engineer so that may be my disadvantage but this method has taught me how to use redstone fairly quickly.
How I would do this would depend on what exactly I would expect out of the lock.
1. A order specific lock that uses say half of the available inputs, valid buttons and invalid-very simple. First button switchs a rsnor latch which flips one input of an and gate which allows access to the next rsnor latch. Invalid buttons reset circuit. Out of order valid buttons do not reset.
2. Order specific lock that can use any button and also multiples- less simple. And gate for each button on each digit of combination. Wire valid inputs one way and reset inputs the other. Valid trips rsnor which activates next level of and gates. Id suggest building this either in reverse with first digit furthest away from the button and current traveling towards you or with each button pulsed to a 2 tick activation just so the possibility of a crossover reset is minimalized.
3. Same as 2 but programmable- replace and gates for each input for each digit for# 2 with a compact transistor. I have a design that is 3X3X2 but has to use a bus system under it.
What you got to do is hook the inputs of each rs norlatch to a and gate with others and the input should also be connected to the output of the buttons before the button so it resets each rs norlatch if you dont press it in order.
I think the poor guy is looking for visual images or video tutorials.
lol I can't do much better than Radiance though.
Actually, I'm not looking for visual aid (But thanks all that posted videos) I want to figure this out by myself (sort of) just unsure what gates I should use.
If I get really desperate, I'll look at those videos though :tongue.gif:
@DouggieG: I don't intend to do programmable just yet :tongue.gif: But I want all buttons to be used and if pressed out of order resets tho whole thing.
@krawllstryker and temptingpage: Using videos and images is helpful if you get stuck, I started that way and has gotten way better, still learning though.
Once again though, thanks for all the input, I will put it to good use :biggrin.gif:
If A then B else C <- I need this in order to check if button is pressed in the right order right?
You want to make a series of RS NOR latches, and make a system so that if you input the wrong button, it resets them.
Look up Minecraftaddict on YouTube, he has some good videos and tutorials on order-sensitive locks.
You can download a world containing this lock here.
