Timer gate glitch - need someone clever

Archive: 3 posts


Hi [EDIT please see diagram if you don't understand]

To keep things simple, I am doing a two player arcade game moving two blocks around using 2 controllinators (a sender AND receiver for both players). The sending controllinators have X mapped to a circuit, so when both players have pressed X a 3 second timer starts, and when 3 seconds are up the circuit outputs signal. This signal is then combined with receiving controllinator on the block using AND logic i.e. you cant move till the timer is finished - if the timer is up AND you move the stick, you can move.

Essentially what I have works i.e. no one can move till both players press X and timer is up BUT for some reason after the timer is down, when I move the analog stick slightly to the left, my block moves right. This only happens when I move the stick gently left, not gently right. If I move the stick all the way to the left it behaves normally again (enough to make the circuit from the receiving controllinator analog stick "light up").

It seems the moving the analog stick gently to the left 'leaks' through the AND gate. It is very frustrating, especially since it happens to both players.

If you read or understood anything I said, thanks. And big kudos for whoever dares reply.
Thanks

[EDIT:::

to make things a bit simpler. Imagine this.

Left analog stick >>>>>>>>>>>>> ? ..................?
....................................... ? ..AND GATE .. ? >>>>>>>>>>>>> Advanced Mover
Battery (always on)>>>>>>>>>>> ? ................. ?

Pressing left gently on the stick, moves the object right.... but not visa versa.

Hope this helps understand the issue.

It sounds like a pretty bad bug to me, and the only way to fix that is rewrite the programming... As painful as it sounds, you might have to delete it and start all over again. It's what I had to do when my metal bus starting blowing away in the breeze.2011-01-26 02:47:00

Try using a direction splitter to split the direction into its positive and negative components, AND each of these with your timer (also make sure your timer gives an on/off signal, not analog/scaled signal) and then wire them up to the directional combiner.2011-01-26 02:52:00
