When you put PSCN right behind a PSTN and spark it, the PSTN will extend from both ends. This is because the PSCN is within the range of BOTH pixels of PSTN. You can solve this by setting the ctype of the farther away pstn to sprk!

    well, it works, but the PSCN is pushed back, which could break something nearby.

    No, it doesn't.

    but it works fine without it !? if you remove the ctype sprk from the example it still works fine !?

    Thanks. I had this problem while building my small pstn mover, and usually I can just move the PSCN away from the piston, but there wasn't any room, so I had to find a better solution
