FALLOUT 4 Logic Gate Tutorial - How to make a 2-way door with an emergency lockdown 

Such a pleasure to hear English spoken without mumbling or swearing. Clear and precise. Thankyou.

as added security you could wire a fireworks launcher to the siren and load it with flares i believe and when the settlement is attacked and the siren goes of the flare is fired and then youll have added backup come to help in the form of the minutemen

You ware born to make tutorials. You're freaking awesome

Very nice voice for tutorials, easy to understand and great explanations, keep it up.

just came across this and i HAD to use this for my PA garage. i did make a slight change where activating the lockdown kicks the turrets on. but i would never have thought of this. thank you

I come back to this video every time I start modding this game again. Great tutorial!

Almost a year on, but this tutorial is great. Clear, focused, and your voice is easy to listen to. Great work!

Firstly, great tutorial. Secondly, I think your NAND gate would be better to be a XOR. With the NAND, flipping the switch after having walked inside will have no effect on the door which someone might desire. With XOR, the switches have to be in opposite positions at any one time to have the door open. A thought for any that might be interested.

Thanks for the tutorial! Saw a few and yours was the easiest to follow for the gate. I still had to write it down to better understand it though. 1. Pwr + Siren --> Nand (+) 2. Nand ( - ) --> Switch (Master) 3. Switch (Master) --> And (+) 4. Power + Switch (Secondary) --> And (+) 5. And ( - ) --> Gate

Definitely worth subscribing to. Thank you for these. I've had to watch them muted, and even without listening to what you're saying, I still was clearly able to see what you did and understand the logic involved. I've been waiting for videos like these to come around to help me figure out ways to build better settlements.

Thanks! I've been looking for a tutorial that explains it in a easy way without talking like "OH MY GOD I'M THE HAPPIEST PERSON EVER!!" or talking to the viewer like they're an idiot. I'll check out your other content but if easy to understand tutorials where you don't talk down to your viewers is what you do.. You've definitely earned a subscription from me!

Years later this is still helping people, like me, who has been playing for three years but doesn’t run out of ideas because of theses types of videos, you might not see this but, thanks.

Thank you this was so helpful and easy to understand, I'm building a teched out bos barracks/armory at the Boston airport.

I've never heard such a unisex sounding voice in all my life. You should seriously consider voice acting, if not professionally, at least for mods. Great tutorial!

I won't subscribe to you because you have a soothing voice. I'm gonna subscribe to you because you're calm, and your explaining is amazing. And finally a tutorial that I can actually understand ❤❤❤

Great video i never consider using the logic gates now you gave me a nice practical use for them thanks.

Easy enough to follow? This defines followability! You could charge money for tutorials. Thanks.

finally got it working. just a 2 way powered door. From watching this I've managed it. Thanks. all the other videos don't explain it enough. my house looks epic now. :)

Incredibly useful tutorial. Works great with the small vault door from vault dlc too. Much appreciated lefty!

just managed to try this out thanks you saved me a huge pain on how to keep my settlers safe

Thank you for a clear and helpful video sorting out those things for me. I have been avoiding them, having no clue how to implement them. Now you have cleared that up I can bolster my settlement defenses nicely.

at last a helpful video for making settlements, here there is another one that needs help ill mark it on your map

1 of the best video guide i came across for 2 way powered door/gate nice and clear explanation compared to another one that kept stumbling and going off track have fun playing around more!

THANK YOU! I learned a thing! Also, your voice is so soothing and wonderful, I would gladly listen to you read the ingredients on a packet of cereal or instructions on how to program a vcr.

so far you have the best and easiest way of explaining the use of logic gates. keep it up!

What a refreshing and well communicated instructional video! Thank you very much. Most video producers assume the viewers all know ALL the gamer abbreviations, terminology or lingo. When they proceed that way, it is like a parent expecting a toddler to climb a flight of stairs with several missing steps. A success principle to which most producers are ignorant. I will now like and subscribe with you because of your pursuit of excellence. Great job!!

....I fell asleep watching this...in a good way, it was 3 am and was tired, and couldn't sleep, relaxing video :D also when I woke up the tutorial was nice as well :D thanks you got a sub

Excellent Crisp and precise I don't see myself using this but nice to know how it works if the need arises

Great tutorial. You made this very clear and easy to understand. Excellent audio quality as well Btw.

Thanks for the information, great delivery and content while getting straight to the point. I would have though I'd zone out more, as I usually do with other youtubers who try to explain logic gates. You have a great voice for this sort of thing, keep it up! Oh and for other people trying to do complex logic gates, it really helps if you just map out on paper what you want to do. It helps to get an overall idea of what's going on.

ok btw 33 years old and this confused the fuck out of me... you are really intelligent and this shows when you are able to explain this in a better way then half the adult Tutorial iv checked out.... good on you... maybe look into a future as a teacher.. you are really quite good at explaining things clearly for someone who only just learned this themself..

Nice one, thank you. You explain in clear concise instructions. I was thinking of leaving a small generator outside and when the enemies damage it the door will close, but this is better, I figured it had to have something to do with logic gates.

Nice work dude! Logic gates are the way in the binary-fallout-electrical-wired-world! I am planing a similar construction for my arena, where the quitting-time-siren starts and the two fighter cells are opening. Perhaps some spotlights turn on to elucidate the fighters and turn of all other lights or shut the windows like in a cinema. And a automatically decontamination shower when somebody walks through (with laser traps). If you find a easy way, thanks.

Best explanation I’ve found, thanks for sharing.

Much appreciated, a well understood video here. ☺️ A better explanation than the other videos around that are stalling or taking time to push for that minimum 10 minute video mark 😒

This is a simple clever setup, nice work.

Exactly what I needed, I was trying to figure out a similar set-up but I needed NOR/NOT but those logic gates are bugged and still need a patch

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you Lefthandshake! Now the raiders won't be able to steal my power armor! 😁

love her accent😅 thanks for this! been thinking about tinkering with the L gates lately. nice simple demo.

I really need to step up my game on building, lol. Awesome tutorial, and great idea for the gate house!

nice tutorial! easy to understand

I love that this game lowkey taught hundreds of thousands of people about how actual logic gates work, and used the proper symbols.

Another way is instead of the AND gate which is Position sensitive you can use the XOR gate which will function similar, XOR gate will transmit power as long as only one input is powered. Basically in simple terms as long as the switches are in opposite positions the door will open which means both sides can work independently of each other and not rely on the other having power. So say a settler comes by and flips the outside switch off with the and gate, even when you flip the switch on your side on the door will not open because the other switch is not powered. With the XOR gate as long as the switches are opposite of each other the door will function which means even if the exterior switch is messed with you still maintain full functionality of the door with the interior switch by reversing its position

Yet again have I come back to this video

electrical studies put into good use in game, finally tuition won't be boring.

What a great tutorial, I am putting it in all my settlements, now if only I could work out how to set it all off by tripwire, I have tried but just can't wrap my head around it.

Great explanation! Thank you

the problem is you can only use this when you don't have other doors. If you left the building through other doors leaving the indoor switch at "off", you can't open the rolling gate from outside again, since the indoor switch is not giving power.

Great explanation and I've had an idea... When you say you can't use siren/conduit/logic gate, what about siren/logic gate/conduit? If THAT works then maybe it would be possible to have the siren somewhere else in the settlement and still work. Not tried it myself though. And use mats under the conduits so the wires will travel underground and keep a clean look. Hope future vids go well for you 😊

I almost skipped this amazing video because you sound so young! How old are you? O well, that taught me a thing or two. Best video I have seen for powered doors (building in general even) in a while. Thank you. You are so organized, and well spoken.

Awesome content. On point. Very helpful

add in pressure plates and all you have to do is walk up to the door

wow... thanks for video... there is so much you can do on this game.. I don't think the game could break it all down for you. but I do wish they would have tried just a little... I am new to the game , never heard of it or seen it played ... till now 2021

Great tutorial for a relatively small channel. Keep it up bro u got my sub

This is fantastic. I'm going to try this.

Thank you! Finally I can start use those logic gates, and do actual cool shit with power things in F4! And, btw, i jut noticed that u have OTHERS tutorials on Fallout 4!!!! U just got a new subscriber bro. Keep up the good work!

the gate isn't a gate, it's a logic switch, that's why you have to connect direct if another siren is on the circuit, the connection has to be isolated.

This is really good!

I’m going to try this. Thanks, this is cool.

I don't yet have a grasp on it, but I'm getting there, thank you for a clear and simple tutorial!! Bless Bethesda but damn these logic gates there are just too many Ands and Nots, and Not-Ands........Ors..... Exors...... ....and ors-ands......... Mm now I want some Oranges *: ]*

I would go one step further, and hook up the siren to an outside switch, so that you can turn it off, in case you’re locked out. I can see a scenario where the settlers activate the siren, while you’re outside. I admit that’s not highly immersive, as you could argue a Raider could disable the siren, then open the door. But the game Engine won’t do this, so, for practical purposes, it’s fine.

Thanks for the tutorial it really helped me out.

Amazing tutorial. Today I was messing with logic gates aswell, Ive come up an idea about, manually opening yet automatically closing gate by using the delayed conduit. But honestly I couldn't make it up. If you have an idea about "how to" bout that, I would be happy thanks.

Having a functional first response alert system could be pretty useful. Especially if a few intruders do actually make it inside. There will be no mercy and no escape for I am judge, jury and executioner. 😏

That is awesome, it's like a lockdown mode !

i spent an hour trying to do this 😂😂😂 thanks

I put all this indoors and know my wires are very confusing and hard to follow but thanks for making this video

I used only 1 logic gate. I used a XOR to do the same. I got the how to from the Skooled Zone video using his wiring glitch.

I cant imagine why anyone would give ya a thumbs down, I give you 58 thumbs up. Keep up the good work.

There is a flaw in the logic here. If I switch the door from inside, I get green (on) opens and red (off) closes. However, leaving the door closed from the inside (off) negates any action from the outside switch, just like the siren does. So the only way the outside switch works is if the inside switch is green (on). Which might be cool if you want the "master of the door" to be inside. But that keep all out when the inside "master" switch is off. I thought the idea would be to be able to open the closed door from outside, regardless of the inside switch position.

That's cool! I don't have the patience to set one up for myself though haha.

Thanks for the tips...

this is brilliant. thank you!

WOW very clear very accurate and in my opinion the best tutorial on youtube, keep up the good work :}

Thanks for the tutorial. At 6:50, how did you make those ramps going up into your gatehouse?

You sound exactly the same as my therapist 💕 new sub cause you take the time to explain. Also I've been playing fo4 for 4 years now and I keep learning new things but it really makes you appreciate how cool this game is

You can put a logic gate so when the siren goes off the door closes and a emergency armoury and armour door opens and the fire stuff launches its high tech well I mean good surcurity the door on works a walled settlement

Absolutely helpful, thank you miss. BTW, your English voice is quite lovely. c:

thanks loved the video helped me alot I just started playing the other day

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

loved it thanks bro!! amazing looking settlement to

Okay I've used your video for a looong time now and was wondering if you would be able to expand on it, I'm looking for videos to help me set up sirens, fireworks that sort of shit. Thanks for a great vid! Still used six years later!! 👍

Thank you for this tutorial. You've been most helpful and yeah, you got a great voice ;)

I know I'm a bit late watching, but this is excellent. I haven't a clue how to start figuring out how these work. A bit like most items in my menu they never get used. I have recently started experimenting with traps which is fun. Great job, subbed to hopefully learn more. Btw cool name 👍👍👍

unfortuanly on PS4 we can't download a mod that stops settlement attack spawn points inside the settlement! in which case this would of been great!

Thanks you

LOVE THIS BIT , POWER

All you need is the NAND logic gate to make the 2 way door. If you want the doors to close when the siren is fired up you can rig a logic gate to cut power to the entire building causing the doors to close.

Informative thank you. And yes you have a lovely voice.

Thanks for the tutorial

Very well done

Have you considered using conduits instead of wires? Tends to look quite a bit cleaner.

Thank you!! This helped a lot!!

What a beautiful voice 👍

So cool, thanks a lot!

I know this video is dated but it's still informative, I was using another youtubers method which allowed multiple sirens "it used an And, Not, And gate system" but.. it did not allow for an outdoor switch and the only reason I can see an outdoor switch needed is if the settlers trigger the siren while the player is outside of the gate hence the outdoor switch would allow him back in but and I was hoping that this video would solve the problem by keeping the outside switch operational to open the gate but lass it doesn't, once the siren is activated it disables both switches so I honestly I can see no point or reason to have an outside switch as setters AI is not programed to activate it only the player can activate and the gate stays open until the siren is triggered, I can think of no scenario in which an outside switch is needed unless someone can point one out for me that'd be awesome. Using the switch's just for normal gate operation yes... but why? if gate is closed then setters can't access the settlement so gate has to be left open until triggered by siren, I know this because I've been locked out and had to workshop mode to slip through a wall.

Ive come back to this video again

Brilliant, thank you :)

Amazing!!! Thank you

WOW
