I've tried the "Prison House" model with interior dimensions being 10 tall, 3 wide, with a solid block to stand on, and platforms to count as doors and it wasn't valid housing (furnature, back wall and torch requirements were all met too)
It sounds like what you're actually asking for is a way to disable the pressure plates, or switches that actuate the 'door'. If there are floor based pressure plates you can use actuated half blocks either side of the plates (on a separate color circuit). That way, when you 'lock' switch is thrown, you'll no longer be able to hit the open/close plate.
Mine work fine still. Make sure there's nothing at all in the way of the NPC's standing location, up to 3 tiles up.
So it has changed a bit, I've been able to set them to stand in older versions (most particularly on my 3DS version) with chair/workbench on the floor. Thanks for the heads up. I'll now be able to rebuild the model properly to store the NPCs
Oh, sorry, workbench and chair are generally fine...
Yeah, sorry, not going to happen. You have to plan your build in advance for it, or just wait to get logic gates and stuff them in somewhere near-ish by.
Okay, stealing the idea of Prison Hallway the way illustrated here XD
I like the concept, and would love to see you create a new topic discussing this in more detail, like how does it work, and what is the goal.Hey T-MEC Terrarians. I was told by someone I should post my Duck Hunt like game here. I made a thread talking about it in the "Work-in-Progress" section. I call the game Duck Duck Dart. I was thinking about typing up a long explanation about how it all works and how the wiring is set up. But most people never read my walls of text anyways. XD I would make a video about it, but my computer is a slow piece of crap and can't handle making videos. I'm sure you guys would be much more interested in reading a long explanation on how it all works, but they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some screen shots.

There are still many things I will most likely change. I only have it set up for 30 waves, but I think I might come up with a different system for the wave sequence before I make it 100 waves. I plan on releasing a BETA version of the map soon, but I would like to see what you guys think of this first.
So do you guys think this is interesting or just an abomination? XD Feel free to ask any questions.
Well if you click on the Duck Duck Dart text it takes you to my other thread that tells you the goal and how the game is played. You should read that thread. As for how it all works, I haven't posted anything explaining that part yet. I was thinking, maybe someone here in the T-MEC community might be interested in doing a video explaining how the game works, and they could put it on their YouTube channel. I have seen a few videos of people talking about wiring stuff in Terraria and explaining how it works. Then when I post a download for the map, I will post that video in my thread for the people that were interested in how it all works.
Use blue pressure plates. Those ones are only triggered by the player and won't open for mobs.
There are tons of fun and practical applications for them. If you look around you can find others using them in all crazy kinds of ways. I used them to make this Duck Hunt game. ---> Duck Duck Dart
No sensors don't count solar eclipses as night time, it's still day time during a solar eclipse. They don't actually work by detecting light. They just trigger when the time in the game reaches day (4:30 a.m.) and night (7:30 p.m.) And yes you can build an override for them. You could have a switch to invert what ever you have them wired to. Using logic gates you could set it up so you can have things triggered by day/night automatically, or switch to manual where you control whatever you have them wired to with a switch.
Wire the pressure plate to a Transistor, then the output to the Teleporter.
It is random to a degree.
Yeah, the term random is a little misleading. It's really just a % chance based on the number of lamps ON vs number of lamps OFF.
It should be like this.
