    The only way i see this happening is obviously a reverse effect on a door.

    Take my door for example on Power Core..
    The door mechanism itself is a grav lift holding up a block. Remove the grav lift and the door way is blocked. To remove the grav lift, it needs to be destroyed..

    To destroy the grav lift, you might want to Launch a TIMED fusion coil at it...

    Determining the TIME for the fusion coil to hit it, entirely depends on the length of the Mechanism.

    Power Cores Mechanism is a fairly quick one, but it isnt instant. If you make the mechanism very long (Say from the top of the Sandbox, all the way down the bottom of the crypt) this would probably give you about 10 seconds...

    To initiate the drop coil for the mechanism, you want to produce a simple "Switch" by balancing a fusion coil on top of the CPU, so once its taken, it falls and gets destroyed.

    Once the switch coil is destroyed, the Timed Coil will start its free fall...

    Approximately 10s after that, the coil will destroy the Gravity Lift placed above the doorway, which in turn allows the Block to fall in front of the doorway preventing further access.

    Have something under the powerup so that when you grab it it bumps the object underneath and puts a block in the door.

    Its too hard to type, just message me.
