Boolean switcher

in Working with GS (PC)

Right now I am trying to make a button that you can touch and it changes the image and when it is touched again it switches back, the way i have it set up is that if touch is released and if the button is not already true then make it true, that works fine, but then when I add in the next rule for turning it back off, which is false, it does not work anymore, is there any command that just switches booleans? For example, if it would just say change attribute "game.boolean" to the other true or false

    Change Boolean to not(Boolean)

    Use the mod function. I have a video on it. Click the Guru link in my signature.

    He is using a boolean, so 1-boolean won't work, but change switch to not(switch) effectively does the same thing as 'change switch to 1-switch'.

    I think My video many have convinced him to use and integer ;)

    If all the button does is switch between two states, then this is the correct answer. Anything else is just overcomplicating matters. There is no faster, easier or more efficient way of doing it than this.

    I'm not sure why the method you were originally using didn't work, though - it should do if you've done what you've said. But @Sock's suggestion is a better way of doing it, anyway.

    I never mentioned booleans your honour, was merely chucking out an alternate method :)

    It's not suprising you'd think that considering I stole the method from you :wink:

    I'm afraid it wasn't you, @RThurman, I'd have remembered that :D I remember being surprised by the person I learned it from, but I don't remember who it actually was :D I think @ORBZ might have been the first to mention it, but I first saw someone else post about it (after @ORBZ's post, though).

    Not grammar nazism just a self-referential post modern lexiconic mobius-esque meta-notion, I think.

    You are completely correct!
    @Orbz introduced the use of not(). Unfortunately @Orbz edited the original example and took it out. But here is close to the spot where he first mentions it:
