The '''red button''', sometimes called a '''clone button''', | The '''red button''', sometimes called a '''clone button''', activates a corresponding [[clone machine]] as specified by the level designer exactly once. Holding a red button down after initially pressing it has no effect. To activate the clone machine a second time, the presser must leave and return to the tile with the button. While more than one red button may activate the same clone machine, a single red button cannot activate more than one clone machine. | ||
Under the [[Ruleset|pedantic Lynx ruleset]] and in [[Chip's Challenge 2]], red buttons are automatically connected to the next clone machine in [[reading order]]. In Chip's Challenge 2, red buttons cannot be wired to clone machines, but [[pink | If a level designer connects a red button to more than one clone machine, only the first connection is valid. To change the connection to a different clone machine in a [[level editor]], either erase the clone machine and red button and reconnect them (in [[ChipEdit]]), or go to the "Clone Connections" menu and disconnect the tiles (in [[CCEdit]] or [[CCLD]]). In addition, ChipEdit will automatically connect a clone button to a clone machine if one is created ''directly'' after the other. | ||

Various things happen when a red button is connected to a tile that is not on top of a clone machine. To clone, the tile must be a [[monster]] or [[clone block]], and the direction it is cloning has to be clear, or the clone will have no effect and the button must be pressed again. | Various things happen when a red button is connected to a tile that is not on top of a clone machine.

The '''brown button''' or '''trap button''' | The '''brown button''' or '''trap button''' releases the [[trap]] to which it is connected, if any, when pressed by any [[object]]. If the brown button does not have a connected trap, it has no effect when stepped on. More than one brown button can release the same trap, but more than one trap cannot be released by the same button. | ||

The '''green button''', informally known as a '''toggle button''', | The '''green button''', informally known as a '''toggle button''', causes all [[toggle wall]]s contained in a level to switch state. If a green button is pressed by any moving object, the walls switch, but two separate presses of different buttons on the same turn will cancel each other out. Therefore, if an odd number of presses occur on the same turn, the wall will switch; if it is an even number, nothing appears to happen (the latter case is one of the only two possible ways to solve [[Perfect Match]] in CC1, the other being the [[Concussion Rule]]). | ||

[[Trap|Traps]], [[Green chip|green chips]], and [[Green bomb|green bombs]] are not affected by grey buttons. | ||
