First Click vs. Second Click

Why not use an offside shape with carton states

when button 1 pressed once its state is changed to 1

button 2 and 3 change state on condition button 1 is state 1

when button 1 is pressed again the state hangers to two and buttons 2&3 change to a different state on condition  2

Hi Phil.. and thanks as always for your insights. I've been chewing on this overnight and I realize that I'm not so much concerned about what happens IF something is clicked. Rather, my scenario involves state changes dependent upon the ORDER in which something is clicked and I realize I didn't do a good job of explaining. I always have the uneasy feeling that I'm over-thinking something that's painfully simple. I've tossed together a simple demo of what I would LIKE to do- if you have a minute, have a look. I've layered the demo, but thinking that my slide could be handled all in one spot using states and variables.

Cheers,

Jeff

I dont think you need avariable, I think you can do this just using states and triggers

You could have a trigger on 1 that changes state of  2 and 3 to state 2  if 2 and 3 equal to normal

You could have a trigger on 2 and 3 that changes state of 1 to (pressed after) if 1 is equal to normal

You then have a trigger on 1 to change state of 2-3 to state 2 if state of 1 equal to "pressed after"

Something like that would work, I think

Thanks, Phil! I was able to cobble something together- don't know how efficient it is, but I think it works. Your advice to work just with triggers and states was the key.
