And i made a video showing how i modified this to make it into a dual action sticky piston door setup(simply got rid of one inverter on the output and moved the pistons positioning)
I actually made another video last night showing the same dual-stage door with sticky pistons. I was able to basically reuse my hidden stairs redstone layout, removed one inverter and reposition the pistons. I was going to post it last night but I've been having sound echoing problems when recording.
ok i was able to recreate kookster's design and spent some time showing the exact redstone setup in a video so it'll be easier for others to recreate in their worlds, it's fairly easy to expand this from a 1up-4across to a 2up-8across style hidden staircase.
Again all credit goes to KOOKSTER i merely recreated it to emphasize the redstone setup that achieves it.
In this set-up, the stairs retract properly, after which the doors close. (ie. the stone blocks slide over the stairwell)
However, when you then open the door again, the stair move first. Thus, they push the blocks covering the moving stairs up, out of reach from the pistons. There's an ugly work-around for that, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I have a few ideas in my head, im going to test it out in a little bit and then I'll PM you if i get something working, not going to be the most compact work though as youll probably need some type of "memory" circuit. If it gets complicated I'll post a vid.
I found a glitch. I love making redstone circuits, but with my trap (i use a chest as bait), whenever the piston pushes the chest, if the chest wasn't replaced since i logged on, minecraft crashes. So i have to replace my chest each time i log on. Also, i made a trap that hides the dispenser with this, and also a locking chest! Might make videos soon.
if you go back a few posts he just updated with a bug fix for problems with chests/dispensers etc
(can someone show me how to embed on here, i tried the youtube tags and its a no go)
Yea use the [youtube...](video name)[/youtube...] but only place the name of the video, the numbers and letters after the v=. Oh and don't use the ... that i used in the example.
I just uploaded a video for the update too. And I made sticky stairs ironically. The stairs I referred to in my video where the ones posted a few pages back.
Thanks for the embed help, got it now, figured it was something simple but I couldnt nail it down, and having no forum search here surprised me.
Funny that we wound up doing the same stairs. My videos dark but you can see I have a decent little section of my main area as a piston workshop. I just liked how compact the redstone could be for a nice big set of stairs and without really needing repeaters for most basic stairs, so i wanted to highlight that in my video, i'll redo it in daytime with a few more example of sticky piston room features. I was bored and had too many chests of cobblestone so i expanded that stairway into a massive hallway in the middle of the woods.
tried PMing you this banner, but i didnt know i couldnt send PNG, GIF or JPG thru PM. so i gave up and posted here, hope i didnt spam your PM box.
Saw your mod, was just burning time, so I killed a few minutes and threw together a fairly basic banner, it should at least get you by until you get an official one. Hope its good enough for you.
So I have one request (as i sit here trying to decide what new things to do with sticky pistons)
Right now if i put a piston, put cobblestone one top, then stand on the cobblestone it launches me in the air.
like so:
(vertical)
Is it possible as part of the mod to have it not make the person fly? I have a feeling that is more of a minecraft engine thing but figured id toss it out there. It would enable the creation of an actual block-by-block elevator rather than a "toss you up a few blocks" style elevator.
back to messing with sticky pistons (yay for easier light switches)

Well here it is, good luck. This is a duplicate of this video: use it for reference when placing blocks to mount torches to or put redstone on top.

I'll make one if you want, it's sorta big though. 8 wide, 16 long and I think 4 high. Can be shrunken but would get confusing as a tutorial.
I'll do it in 2-3 hours (stuck in work)

I'll post it later today

had the same thing happen when i went to Options > Video Settings and turned off Smooth lighting. Just turn it back on and stairs will look normal.
