multisource problem Created 20 years ago2004-01-11 14:53:53 UTC by leong2

I have a switch(masterswitch) that triggers a multisource, which is a master to an other switch(lightswitch).
If i dont activate the masterswitch, the lightswitch wont work, which is a good thing. However, when i de-activate the masterswitch, the multisource isn't deactivated and the light switch still works. If i activate the masterswitch again, the multisource turns off.
Conclusion: The switch toggles the multisource, but doesn't toggle it when the switch itself is deactivated.

Anyone know how to get the multisource to activate and deactivate it according to the active/deactive state of the switch?

um?

make the switch target the multisource, and the multisource the light ?

but i cant give the light a master, or atleast not without clicking smartedit.

Set the multisource to target a trigger_relay that targets the light. Then set the trigger_relay "trigger state" to toggle. This should work.

but then the light goes on when the masterswitch is flipped, since the multisource targets the relay, which targets the light.
But this is not what i want to happen, the normal lightswitches should only work when the masterswitch is activated, and stop working when it is deactivated.

BUT i finally figured it out: i let the masterswitch target a trigger_relay (trigger state=toggle), and the trigger targets the multisource. When the button is activated, the source is on, when the button is deactivated, the source is off.

thanks anyhow people
