Redstone

You could use repeaters to add a delay. Of course, the doors would still only open for a second, but it would give you time to get right up to the hidden door before it opened, instead of a press resulting in an instant open. There's no way to increase button activation time without more in depth circuitry (though not too difficult if you wanted to do it).

I didn't think about repeaters... :P

I considered repeaters for that same reason. I should probably do that cuz sometimes it hits me on the way out, otherwise, the door is fully functioning how i want it.

It is sort of a way to wire things.

[egg-whites333]

oh okay cool

[EpsilonX]

like, you can set down a lever, and use redstone to create a wire leading to something, like a door or a piston, and when you flip the lever, the door opens. so basically yea, its wire.

Hey eps you can use redstone repeaters to delay the closing of your secret door. Just set it to four ticks and you have maybe a second before it closes. You can chain multiple together to increase the time.
