Save is apparently breaking my circuit

[Belarr]

I'm working on an elevator with a few differences from many I've seen:

• Buttons inside elevator temporarily lock call buttons
• Call buttons lock elevator buttons when used if not locked
• Keypad on the inside gate of each floor that is timed
• You have 15 seconds to enter the code before the buttons are released

I had it working just like I wanted it earlier, but after I unhooked the testing pieces and moved it to it's proper place, saved, and then was forced to load it. Now it just refuses to auto open the gate when a call button calls it down to a floor unless I hit it twice.

Each call button is on it's own circuit for a few reasons, but I'm also open to suggestions on how to condense parts.

I am using two separate scripts to accomplish this (it doesn't look pretty, but it USED to work)

Inputs:
Btn = Button
Kpd = Keypad
Cls = Constant Chip Number for open gate state
Dst = Constant Chip Number for closed gate state
Flr = Constant Chip Number for floor height
Tmr2 = Timer from Elevator circuit

Outputs:
Elv = 1,0 output
Wld = Weld latch switch (not implemented)
Timer (Not used)
Enbl = 1,0 variable to distinguish differences in call or elevator button
Dabl = 1,0 variable that is only on if timer is at current time and Enbl is on

N@Door Controller
I@Btn Kpd Opn Cls Dst Flr Lock Tmr2
O@Elv Hyd Wld Timer Enbl Dabl
Btn==1 | Kpd==1 -> Enbl=1;
Dabl = (Enbl==1 & Dst==Flr & Tmr2>=1 ? 1 : Enbl=0)
Elv = (Btn == 1 & Lock == 0 ? 1 : 0)
Wld = (Dabl == 1 & Tmr2 < 16 ? 1 : Enbl=0)
Hyd = (Dabl == 1 & Tmr2 < 14 ? Opn : Cls)

Inputs:
A1 - H1 = Elevator Buttons
A2 - H2 = Call Buttons
EH = Get height value from smoother chip as it goes up

Outputs:
O = Floor height sent to smoother chip
L = Variable sent to call circuit to lock it out and used to lock itself when call buttons are used
Timer = Timer used on the gates and locking mechanism

N@Elevator
I@A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 D1 D2 E1 E2 F1 F2 G1 G2 H1 H2 EH
O@O L Timer
A1==1 & L==0 -> O=-148, Timer = 0;
A2==1 & L==0 -> O=-148, Timer = 0;
B1==1 & L==0 -> O=-47, Timer = 0;
B2==1 & L==0 -> O=-47, Timer = 0;
C1==1 & L==0 -> O=50, Timer = 0;
C2==1 & L==0 -> O=50, Timer = 0;
D1==1 & L==0 -> O=149, Timer = 0;
D2==1 & L==0 -> O=149, Timer = 0;
E1==1 & L==0 -> O=245, Timer = 0;
E2==1 & L==0 -> O=245, Timer = 0;
F1==1 & L==0 -> O=343, Timer = 0;
F2==1 & L==0 -> O=343, Timer = 0;
G1==1 & L==0 -> O=441, Timer = 0;
G2==1 & L==0 -> O=441, Timer = 0;
H1==1 & L==0 -> O=539, Timer = 0;
H2==1 & L==0 -> O=539, Timer = 0;
L = ((Timer > 15) ? 0 : 1)
Timer = ((EH == O) ? Timer += 1 : 0)

Here is how it looks in game:

Use adv duplicator to save your stuff

Use adv duplicator to save your stuff

I would and do for the most part, but that way I construct aesthetic objects, it requires that I keep them in one spot until they're finished.

Well, wire and save, doesn't mix well. There was a good reason for it, but that I have forgotten.

In case you didn't knew, there is a checkbox in adv. dupe to paste on the original location, that should put everything back nicely.

Little tips on expressions:
I highly recommend switching to Expression2.

and A==0 -> and A==1 -> can just be written as
!A ->
A ->
(Unless you want to compare A with 1, but that isn't the case here.)

iirc, the source engine really doesnt care to much for this "lua" thing that has been forced upon it.
What I do to save projects with the adv dupe is I freeze everything, rope everything, then adv dupe.

When I spawn it again I use "Spawn Frozen" and "spawn in same location" or w/e. Things tend to not be so crazy.
