http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHICKm7EC0E&feature=channel_video_title Just follow my tutorial. This is a VERY simple piece of logic that may be very handy. you can change it's direction just by moving the holograms. it can go in all directions, so dont worry about changing all sors of timers and speed settings. Enjoy!

I used to do the thing you did, but there is a simpler way. At 1:55 don't take a toggle and a not gate, take a selector with 2 outputs if there is always one on, or 3 if it can be A, B, or none active. --- You should tell the creator just to make the range big enough for the zone instead of "160". --- You should learn to use only one chip for each logic tool. One chip for the whole is enough. Plus, I would use impact sensors instead of tag sensors, as they don't need range setting. I hate setting range. It is always a guess or a "make bigger than needed". --- By using a selector and hooking the output of the timer to cycle, you cant extend this to more tags, making a platform move to tag A then B then C then D then A then... --- A nice thing to do would be to place the same logic on a vertical line of holo, and stick two other tags on each tip of it. Then set the platform to follow those tags instead. Now the platform follows the holo up and down, and the holo follows the path. You can even use sequencers and rotators for complex moves around. Thanks for giving me great ideas, I like your way of platform following. Nice !

Actually, im aware of everything you mentioned. Im not exactly keen on impact sensors as opposed to tag sensors, at least in this case, so thats why I did it this way.

this is really informative stuff, thanks and good job.

I would personally prefer to use a selector over a toggle switch + NOT gate combination for determining which tag the platform should follow. That way, I can easily expand this to work with more than just 2 destinations for the platform to move towards. I would also hook up some AND gates to each of the OR gate's ports, and hook up the proper tag sensor and selector port to their own AND gate's ports. That way, the timer that's hooked up to the OR gate won't accidentally trigger if and when the platform crosses over a tag that it's not supposed to follow at that moment. Still, this seemed to be a nice, informative tutorial that's easy for anyone that has at least some experience with logic to follow. However, I do wonder if you plan on updating this tutorial so that it seems as if anyone could tweak it so that it could follow more tags. (By the way, this tutorial should prove to be useful for creating more than just moving platforms.)

Similar thread going on here with a follower exampe: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=46671-Using-a-mover-instead-of-a-piston It's great how many different ways you can do things.
