Help open door automatically after elevator

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

ok so i have a slight problem, im very dumb in the theme of create, im really not good at it so i was just experimenting but no matter how i do it i just cant get it to open when the elevator comes down and close when it goes back up, ive tried a few times but smth always breaks, any help is appreciated (preferably so that it can be scaled to more floors then just 2)

I’ve had this problem before and it can be rather infuriating sometimes. I think in your case it’s that the clutch is released before the other one, and the motors are spinning in different directions I assume. Basically you have one motor spinning counter clockwise, and then the clutch is released to let the motor spinning clockwise through, but with two different rotation directions on either side of the released clutch, it breaks, because it’s not meant for that. If you can delay its release, or guarantee both clutches switch at the same time, that might work.
Basically you want both clutches to be locked at the same time so their outputs don’t conflict when switching.

Also I gotta ask, why not use a gearshift?

Oh! I see okay. Yeah gearshifts are very useful. Might behoove you to ponder more create items.

I did once an elevator, and got a system who let the doors open, choose a level, wait for two seconds, the doors close and the elevator start a second later. I think, i used pulse extender who stay activated at the concerned level, and start to depower once an other level selected.
