What behavior or combination of behaviors would allow me to turn other behaviors on and off? (As is the little button before their name)

    Hi @zefrof

    Personally I'm trying to understand what you're after; have I got it right?:

    OK, we can turn on and off any rules/group of rules in the editor by clicking the on/off button; you want to turn rules off and on exactly the same but while the game is running?

    If that's what you're after, for every behaviour or group of behaviours you want to turn off and on, you'll need a boolean attribute which will act as a switch/toggle.

    So, for instance (I'll make this up as I don't know what your actual rules are, of course:

    When touch is pressed
    ---this next bit to add as new--- when Rules1 is true ---- making sure you check the attribute Rules1 in the attributes section to make it true

    Change attribute..
    Timer: After 30 seconds..
    Particles
    etc

    So on-screen, you need a button to switch off those behaviours; in it's rules, put the following:

    When touch is pressed
    --inside the above Rule: when Rules1 is true
    change attribute to false
    otherwise
    change attribute to true

    Any other on/offs you want make other booleans: Rules2, Rules3, etc; and put similar in the buttons on-screen

    PS I've gone and rejected my own answer! How'd I manage that? Hypnotised by the screen...time I took a break soon... ;-)

    @tenrdrmer I didn't. Read his post at the end it says he rejected his own answer.

    Heh, so true, Aaron!!

    Or the benefits.... just think....we can reject ALL of our own answers if we wanted! The power!!!

    (No, I don't know what I'm on about either...) :-)
