Heres what im working with. I am trying to make a hidden staircase. The idea is that the iron block is flush with the floor, then gets pulled down and replaced by the stair. But I dont want the vertical piston to extend the stair block. so the iron is pulled down and moved to the side and the stair is moved in but not extended up.
I am not sure if I understood correctly, but you can use a sticky piston under the pressure plate to cut off a wire that powers the other three pistons:
And with the pressure plate 'on':
You can power the side pistons with repeaters, if you want the ground to be flat.
Horizontal to horizontal (north to east, etc)
Use the same design, but put a redstone torch under the "hotspot" where the blocks will be pushed towards.
Horizontal to downward
Note that the input can be received from either opposing side (and you can move either the "red power line" or the "white receiver line" if you want to two "inputs" to come at 90 degree angles instead)
Horizontal to upward
Same as the above design, the input can be received from either opposing side (and you can move either the "red power line" or the "receiver line" (the one with the repeater) if you want to two "inputs" to come at 90 degree angles instead).

easiest and most compact I could make was 6x1x2 with an observer coming in clutch
