I've built a castle where I want to make an iron door with a latch design where if you enter from one side you press a button have all the time in the world to pass through and step on a pressure plate to close the iron door behind you.
Now, most designs that do this either go very deep into the ground and usually have the button on feet level (which is kind of ugly imo). So i was pretty happy to find out about the fourth design in this video:
The problem is that the piston here pushes the cauldron 1 level too deep for my structure. And that would mean a hole in my ceiling in the room below this iron door. :-(
Any ideas how I might alter this design slightly to fit inside of 1 layer?
other ideas are welcome too of course.
Here are a few things i tried but failed horribly at:
-replacing the cauldron and piston with a dropper, a dropper with a water bucket inside has a somewhat same effect as a cauldron of water on the circuit.
-getting the cauldron to be pushed horizontally instead of vertically.
-getting any influence on the circuit below from the button 2 blocks above ground, seriously why does that button activate the piston? if i recreate the device from top the bottom: with a button on a block, a block and then a piston; the button does jacksh- to activate the piston... redstone is weird.
Heya,

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nevermind!
I succeeded in getting the cauldron to be pushed horizontally instead of vertically.
so, yay!
