turn on and off with same button

i have a button (sprite) and when i click on it, another object is visible.

when i click on this button again i want this object be invisible.

so it will switching like on/off button.

i believe it will be simple, but i can figure it out,

thanks

Make clicking on the button toggle a Boolean.

Check for the Boolean, if enabled, set the object invisible.

Else, set the object visible.

If you want to save events in the free version..

Make two buttons, create one over the other, make the top one invisible by default.

When you press the bottom button, it sets the top button to be visible and also makes the other object invisible.

Pressing the top button would hide itself and make the other object visible.

For CC.

Mouse on sprite clicked

sprite2 set opacity to sprite2.opacity=100 ?0 :100

Conditionals, very useful.

i tried to set up

button is clicked and object is invisible, then object is visible

then i made - button is clicked and object visible, -make object invisible

but it does not work :(

For sure this won't work. Here is a description, why it can't work: Introduction into branching

Meanwhile do so as Rory explained for C2, but instead of a Boolean you fake a boolean with a pv or global. Just set this variable to 1 - variable on every button click.

Then use events like

if variable = 1, make invisible

if variable = 0, make visible

tulamide: thanks much, finally it works as i need!

thanks!

Good point Tulamide.

Global variable would work better.

And I totally forgot he was working with CC. I was at the wrong side of the forum haha!

Tulamide "...fake a boolean with a pv or global. Just set this variable to 1 - variable on every button click..."

How do you make it variable on every button click so it actually works?

WizLore Not entirely sure what you mean there. What would you like to do in your game?

Just a toggle button...

So far I made it as joxer first suggested... and made it work with a 'wait 0.05 seconds' to prevent it toggles back again...

I know it's a messy way to do it, but I don't understand Tulamides answer.
