How do I make on and off buttons?

Gem-Studios

Hi! so I've been having a little trouble with something…
So I cant figure out how to make a functional on and off button. what I mean is this:
you can click the button and it makes the light turn on
and when you click it again it makes the light turn off. I know it may seem super simple but I'm kinda new to this. so can anyone help?

when [m v] key pressed
switch costume to [light on v]

when [n v] key pressed
switch costume to [light off v]

Thank you!

Also in the two different button sprites you could add a

when this sprite clicked
broadcast [ On]

and at the receiving sprite

when I receive [ On]
set [ On/Off] to [On]

Same thing for the off button.
If this is to advanced then @nonethenones recommendation would be better.

EZ (easy) quick note: please be using scratch 2.0 version

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [ 2]
set [ v] to [0]

when this sprite clicked
if <[ v] = [0]> then
set [ v] to [1]
switch costume to [ 1]
stop [this script]
if <[ v] = [1]> then
set [ v] to [0]
switch costume to [2]
stop [this script]

end

Here is the easy way…

Solmux

when this sprite clicked
change [ var v] by (1)
forever
if <(var) = [3]> then
set [ var v] to [1]

end
end

Next…

when green flag clicked
set [ var v] to [1]
forever
if <(var) = [1]> then 
this is off


else
if <(var) = [2]> then 
this is on
end
end

idk if this works but try

I believe you are talking about a toggle on and off button:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(Variable) = [0]> then
move (10) steps
end
if <(Variable) = [1]> then
move (-10) steps
end
if <(Variable) = [2]> then
set [Variable] to [0]
end
end

when this sprite clicked
change [Variable] by (1)

when green flag clicked
set [Variable] to [0]

Since you have figured this out, I would suggest this to be closed so the forums can be a little bit more organized

Hi, I think I know so first you do this stuff

when green flag clicked

set [ on/off] to [true]

switch costume to [ costume 2]

(or false)
Then you do this,

[scratchblocks]
when [ v] key pressed
[/scratchblocks] [scratchblocks]

if <[0n/off] = [true]> then 
switch costume to [ 1]
set [ on/off] to [false]
  

else
set [ on/off] to [true]
switch costume to [ 2]
end
[/scratchblocks]
