Buttons: Difference between revisions
added switch to wiring button section; matched text from wire page to this page; spacing
(someone pasted over the red button description for brown button and forgot to remove a reference to clone machine - also, buttons in cc2 do not choose a new target if the target is destroyed, so "at the start of the level" is an important distinction) |

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. | The '''red button''', sometimes called a '''clone button''', activates a corresponding [[clone machine]] as specified by the level designer exactly once.

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 '''brown button''' or '''trap button''' releases the [[trap]] to which it is connected, if any, when pressed by any [[object]].

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]]). | The '''green button''', informally known as a '''toggle button''', causes all [[toggle wall]]s contained in a level to switch state.

The '''gray button''' is a button introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. It changes the state of objects in a 5 by 5 square centered at the button, even if the tiles are already [[Wire|wired]]. Tiles that can be changed include [[Toggle wall|toggle walls]], [[Flame jet]]s, [[Force floor|force floors]] (inverses direction), [[Swivel door|swivel doors]], and [[Train track|train tracks]]. [[Clone machine]]s will be activated by gray buttons, even though they have no distinct "switched" state. [[Trap|Traps]], [[Green chip|green chips]], and [[Green bomb|green bombs]] are not affected by gray buttons. | The '''gray button''' is a button introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]].

The '''orange button''' is a button introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. While held down, they invert the state of a corresponding [[flame jet]] from its start state. An orange button connects to a flame jet in a diamond grow pattern, prioritizing the rightmost flame jet and then travelling in a counterclockwise fashion. | The '''orange button''' is a button introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]].

The '''yellow button''' is a button introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. When pressed, every [[yellow tank]] in the level will attempt to move in the same direction as the object that pressed it.

The '''black button''' is a button introduced in Chip's Challenge 2. It has the opposite behavior of a pink button: it activates any wire it is connected to ''except'' while held by a movable object. | |||
If a black button receives a current from any side, it will relay that current to the side opposite of that from which it is received. | |||
Black buttons only switch from powered to unpowered, and vice versa, when they detect something moving onto or off of them. Destroying an entity holding down a black button using a [[bowling ball]] or [[dynamite]] will keep the button pressed, because the destroyed entity never actually moved off of the button. As soon as another entity steps onto the black button, its behavior goes back to normal. This does not occur with pink buttons. Something similar to this can happen with orange buttons, but the affected flame jet will reverse its on/off polarity as though activated by a wire. | |||

The '''switch''' is a special tile in Chip's Challenge 2. When set to the ''on'' position, a current will be output through wire that is connected to the switch. When set to the ''off'' position, no current will be output. Switches can be toggled by any movable object. | |||
