Piston Pusher Help...

In a lot of mob traps I've seen, they used "piston pushers", where when the mobs step on one of the pressure plates, pistons push out, pushing the mobs into your killing area.
I wanted to do that with my own mob trap, further evolving it to v2.
Looking at my diagrams above (same screenshot in 1st and 3rd person), please tell/help me how to accomplish my goal?

I really need an answer by tomorrow...please please help me asap. Any comments would be highly appreciated.~

~~In advance.

*sigh*
Really? Just an answer...omg.

any help? How come no one here knows about redstone..

You would need a repeater to transfer the power to a block that the piston is on.

This is how it's setup.

S|A
N|R|P

S - Sticky Piston
A - Any Pushable Block
N - Any NON transparent block
R - Redstone Repeater
P - Pressure Plate

The plate sends a signal to the repeater. Since the repeater can transfer signals THROUGH blocks, it will transfer to the piston on top. The piston will push the block forward, and anything in front of it.

okay I think I got it...I don't need to upload SS because it seems to be working fine..
But I've only did this to ONE pressure plate...is there an easier way to power both pistons with pressure plates side by side? I know how to do it, it just takes up WHOLE BUNCH of space and very complicated..

You would not need that because the mob would already be pushed into the hole.

nonono what I mean is two pressure plates side by side. So then when a mob steps on anything, it gets pushed into the hole.
Make sense?

It already does that though. Would you like a screenshot?
