Best automatic doors?

    Using the toggle schematic from the advanced wiring tutorial (http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/guide-advanced-wiring-guide.58794/) I was able to create a pressure plate that toggles a door when the user steps off the plate... switching the input node the plates connect to I was able to get it to toggle when the player stepped onto the plate... this works better. Putting the plate directly next to the door, the door opens fast enough for the player to trigger the door to open, and pass through the door without needing to stop. The problem is the pressure plate on the other side of the door. The two pressure plates seem to need to be quite a good distance away in order for them to both trigger. Does anyone know of a way to allow the plates to work while closer together?

    Example: Imagine the set up below
    <player> _Plate_ |Door| _Plate_

    The player steps onto the first plate, the door opens... the player steps through the door.
    The player now steps onto the second plate: If sufficent time has passed the door closes, other wise the door does not close.

    I'd like to find a way to remove time required between stepping on plates. Placing the plates 7 or 9 blocks apart (3 or 4 blocks radius from door) seems to allow enough time to pass between stepping on either plate... but requiring that much distance makes it difficult to automate doors in any compact way.

    How's this? The wiring is the same on both sides but clearer on the left. If you don't know how a SWS works, that guide has a section on it.

    You could put some pressure plates on the side of the door.
    (like that:_ _ _[]_ _ _)."_"is pressure plate und "[]"is the door. No distance between them.
    So if you trigger any one,the door will be opened und kept the state. If you are not on the pressure plate,the door will be closed.

    I don't have the mod which one hat SWS. So could you give the Web about that mod to me?

    Not a mod, it's part of the vanilla game.
