Elements affected by buttons[ | ]
| Element name | Attribute you need to set to the name of the button | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Obstacle | name | The obstacle will move from startPosition to endPosition when the button is pressed.
If "disableCollisionWhenButtonActive" is checked nauts will be able to go through the obstacle when the button is pressed. |

| Teleporter | activationInfluencedBy | The teleporter will be disabled when the button isn't pressed |
| Turret, Base, NamedArea | name | The object will move from startPosition to endPosition when the button is pressed. |
| Worm | buttonID | The worm will be active when the button is pressed |
| AffectArea | positionInfluencedBy, activationInfluencedBy | The area will move from startPosition to endPosition when the button is pressed if positionInfluencedBy is set.
The area will only be active when the button is pressed when activationInfluencedBy is set |
| Animation | influenceName | When the button is pressed, the current animation will switch from idleLoopAnimation to startAnimation to activeLoopAnimation.
When the button is released, the current animation will switch from activeLoopAnimation to endAnimation to idleLoopAnimation. |

Additional notes[ | ]
- Changing animationDuration does nothing when an object is linked to a button, you will have to change reactionSpeedForward and reactionSpeedBackward instead
- influenceOnDeath in Turret(modding) works almost like button (but may not work with object like hideArea)
- All buttons must have a different name to work properly
- If TimeToRemainPressedAfter is not 0, the button will activate when you leave it (even if timeRequiredBeforeCountsAsPress is set). This is probably a bug
- If you need something special, try to think what you could do by spawning creeps on buttons!
- Entities like Voltar's flying little bot will can enable buttons
