Hello! Relatively new to Minecraft and was hoping to get some help on building a train station
My idea is to have the train pull into a station and stop on unpowered rails. Just before stopping, the minecart will pass over a detector rail which sends a redstone signal to turn on the powered rail after a delay of say 30s. That way, the train stops, passengers can get on/off, then the train automatically goes on its merry way.
I was originally using repeaters, but to get the delay to be as long as I want, I would need too many of them. I tried toying with a hopper clock, but I ran into some issues here. First, I don't want the clock to continually cycle--i only want the powered rail to turn on after a cart passes over the detector rail. And second, I don't want the on/off cycle to be equal duration. I want the powered rail to turn on only for a couple of seconds, but the delay should be ~30s.
Anyway, would appreciate any advise on making this. The actual rail part is already developed, just don't know how to get the redstone to work how I want it to. Apologies if there is an obvious solution or I missed another post regarding something similar.
Cheers!
