I'm working on a trap, where if a person steps on a pressure plate, then the pistons deactivate and a pit forms in front of the plate. I decided to do this like a vertical jeb's door (a piston door in a flat surface.)
The issue I am having is that the pressure plate is powering the upwards piston directly next to it. Is there a way to invert the charge from the presureplate without powering the piston? Preferably without moving the plate away from the pistons.
Side view 1 shows how I implemented the jeb's door.
The issue is that the pressureplate that triggers the trap is also activating the [s^] piston directly next to the plate. I hope my diagrams are understandable, otherwise I can provide screenshots. :3
- [p] = pressureplate
- [d] = dirt
- [s] = stickypiston (>,<,^,v = Piston Direction extended)
- [r] = redstone
- [1-4] = repeater with 1-4 number of ticks
- [a] = air
- |[b]| = Section for Side view
- [t] = redstoneTorch

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.
