Multiple buttons with on/off states but only one on at a time?

JCFord

Whats the best way to approach having multiple buttons each with an on/off state, but being able to only have one on at a time. i.e. If one of the buttons it turned on, all others must then be off?

Have a global integer attribute called something like "currentSelectedButton"

Then in each of the buttons have an integer attribute called something like "myButtonID"

Then, in each button Actor, two Rules, like this:

Rule
When Touch is Pressed
Change Attribute: game.currentSelectedButton To: self.myButtonID

Rule
When game.currentSelectedButton = self.myButtonID
[Change to ON state]
Otherwise
[Change to OFF state]
