Improved Hidden Piston Door (with tutorial)

I made a few improvements to the wiring, making it simpler to understand. I also redid my tutorial to show me actually making the door into a mountainside.

When i try to test it, the outside pistons fire, but only the two inner pistons at the top fire. What am i doing wrong?

[Cedarpaw]

@IcySnoball66 I'm having the same problem myself and I don't know why.... it's almost like his redstone works differently somehow.

[PearSquirrel]

@Cedarpaw This works in every direction. Is your redstone above the pistons the same as mine?

[PearSquirrel]

@IcySnoball66 Try playing around with the redstone at the top. You might have to add or remove some.

How do I add a button outside?

[PearSquirrel]

@Disneyelevators407 In that case, replace the piston part with your button. Bring redstone from the button down and connect it to the rest.

You've got to run a wire under the bottom inner pistons so they'll fire like the top does, & put 2 repeaters (on max delay) on blocks pointed directly to the 4 outer pistons, or they won't fire right.

[Cedarpaw]

@PearSquirrel Yes, but your design has nothing to power the bottom inside pistons or the outside piston next to the repeater. I've corrected your design and I'll upload some screenshots.

Getting this to work as advertised was a little more frustrating than this tutorial suggests. You've got to run a wire underneath the bottom inner pistons so they'll fire like the top does, and you've got to put two repeaters (on max delay) on blocks pointed directly to the four outside pistons on each side, or they won't fire correctly. You've got to move the pressure plates and torch trigger back one to make space. I'll build it again and upload an image album with the steps later.

Is there a way to design a completely locking torch into the design? New to redstone wiring?

[markhelfrich]

I made this a single door (left side when looking at it) and figured out that if you put a redstone torch on the wall right behind the top piston after you close it, it locks the system entirely. The preassure plates won't open it, nor will putting the redstone torch on the door outside power it. The one problem is though, keeping the piston under the ground from activating. That would mean that if someone put a torch there, they might wonder as to why the piston noise and start to dig.
