HELP with subframe mover pointing down
-
I've been trying to make a piston mover that moves down rather than sideways. I know basic subframe, and have already made movers that move to the right. I've made several prototypes, and yet I can't even make a subframe piston pointing downwards. It usually just stays in place, and does not move things out of its way. I know it doesn't push them and pull them back because I used non-sticky, tmp 1 frame during my tests.
Edit: This mover will possibly be in contact with water at some point, so those movers that create a temporary piston behind them might not work. I want a solid, one piece machine.
Here's my save with some of the unsuccessful piston movers:

The closest to being correct is the one at (278, 185). Three problems with it:
- particle order is all over the place; the update order has to be piston, conv-to-conductor, conv-to-spark;
- the sparks in bottom portion are one pixel further down than they should be;
- the top piston extends first and retracts second, so its extension has to be limited to one particle; you can do this by setting the temperature of the topmost piston particle to 0C.Edited once by LBPHacker. Last: 3rd Jan 2023
