This page is part of the Essential Series modding tutorials. A '''Button''' ([[BUTN]]) is an [[Asset#Entity Asset|entity asset]] that creates a model in the world and is specialized at sending or receiving [[../Links/|events]] depending on interaction with the player. Everything that applies to [[../SIMPs/]] also applies to buttons, such as the visibility and collision states, events and Drivenby. BUTNs are usually found in the Default layer of the level's HIP.
== Using Buttons ==
=== Red Button and Pressure Plate ===
[[Industrial Park (level editor)|Industrial Park]] has [[../Asset Templates/|templates]] for the red button, which is common in BFBB, and the pressure plate. You can place these templates, but you need to have [[../Tikis and Enemies/#Importing HIPs|imported]] the button or pressure plate HIPs to the stage's HOP first.
After placing the button, there are a few settings in its [[../Editing Assets/#Asset Data Editor|Asset Data Editor]] you might want to change:
* ResetAfterDelay: this only applies to buttons (not pressure plates). If true, the button will unpress after the time specified in ResetDelay.
* Button Hitmask: this is a list of actions which may activate the button. You can set it to only be activated by specific moves. They are independent of the asset being a button or pressure plate, so if you set PlayerOnPressurePlate to true on a button, it will activate when you step on it!
Line 18:
=== Motion ===
The Motion section of the button is identical to a [[../Platforms/#Mechanism|Mechanism platform's]]. You can use this to set how the button will move when pressed. [[../Platforms/#Movement Preview|Movement Preview]] will preview the button's movement.
== Events ==
All [[../SIMPs/#Events|events which work for SIMPs]] function the same way on BUTNs.
* '''ButtonPress''': this is sent to the button when it is pressed. You can also send this to the button to press it from another asset.
Line 28:
Note that sending '''Disable''' to a button will not make it invisible or unsolid, but simply unable to be pressed.
