Resetting buttons

[Kamilan]

Hello,

I was just wandering. I have a button whose mechanical function is set to "switch until released". Is there a way I could hit the button and have it on "switch when pressed" then when a particular function or event has occurred have it reset to the default "false" state?

Cheers

Yes, this is one of the few good places to use a local variable.  The local variable is a better choice here than using a property node.

Here is a good link for why the local variable is a better solution here, if you are interested.

hey there,

not sure what i'm supposed to be looking at.

could you point out a few things? isn't using a local gonna be the same at the current true/false of the button?

Just write a false in the local variable, after the button is pressed

Precisely, sorry I wasn't more descriptive.
