Press Button
The Press Button panel sets up a button: an IO entity that sends power on for a short time when a player presses it. It shows when you select one or more buttons.
Press Duration is how long the button stays pressed, in seconds. What it sends depends on the button:
- Buttons that players can place, and buttons set up to give a short burst, send a burst of power when pressed: at least Power Amount, for Power Time seconds. Then they send nothing until Press Duration ends.
- Other buttons, such as many monument buttons, pass the power of their input on for the whole Press Duration.
Wire the button in the IO Entity panel, see IO wiring.
Can edit several selected objects at once.
