trying to drop gravel with redstone on it to fall into place after a piston pushes a block below but the redstone just pops out of the block and ends the trap:(
can't be done in the game's current state. the closest you can get is to have the redstone line up with the dropped block so that it powers the redstone on the other side. I use a method similar to this to power a piston driven floor light in my home.
You can do something similar for the same effect.

= dust
If a block is pushed into the gap, it will block the flow of a signal from both directions.
Once the block is pulled out of the gap, it will allow the flow of a signal again.
If you want to send a signal when the gap is closed, just slap an inverter down the line a bit.
when gravel or sand falls on top of dust, it will break, so you must use a piston for this.
Hope that helps.
thanks I figured that out on my own while messing around so i have a pressure plate that does nothing with some powder lined up next to it and another pressure plate next to a stone wall when really the wall is above a hole with redstone in it :smile.gif: connected to a arrow dispenser facing the plate

so are you saying a inverter would detect a break in the redstone circuit and send a signal?
