Is there an easy way to check if a numeric button is pushed?

Mo,

I see you like to argue so here it goes. 🙂

1. Repeating. Everything except the big loop is and addition to show the button functionality.

2. While loop is infinite in order to be able to play with the buttons as long as you like. Just hit the red stop button when you feel like.

3. Property node/reference  was made by the snippet.

4. When it comes to memory, your loop was infinite. Mine had allocated 6 elements. Wihtout allocating those 6 elements it does not work all, which tells me you did not run the code 😉

2. While loop is infinite in order to be able to play with the buttons as long as you like. Just hit the red stop button when you feel like. As I said, I don't know your experience or intention.  Many users get on this forum and make mistakes like this. I was simply pointing it out in case you didn't know.  I for one would explain things to fellow forum members before submitting something so blatently obvious. And no, something so obvious would not be common sense as to your intention.  I can't read your mind.

3. Property node/reference  was made by the snippet.My apologizes, you said the reference was made by the snippet, which I assumed, but did not appear to address the property node.

4. When it comes to memory, your loop was infinite. Mine had allocated 6 elements. Wihtout allocating those 6 elements it does not work all, which tells me you did not run the code 😉Yes, I ran the code and it worked like I would expect it to.  Perhaps you were expecting a different result.  Mine populated 6 elements, and not infinite as you claim.  What do you mean by it "didn't work at all?"  What result did you get?  If you can give me the details, I will try and duplicate it.

 I am not being argumentative.  I was simply making a point and giving some friendly adivce regarding your code.  Lost in all this mess is a solution to your original post.  Do you have one?  I see no need to continue on this tangent.  It's non-productive.

Hey, 

It is all OK. I do appreciate your comments.

I just felt some of them were going a bit away from the main problem.

Yes, the array of Boolean clusters with the logic did the job for me.

And again, thanks for the whole discussion.
