Little trick..

Ok, say you want 2 different switches to control one thing.

The best way to do this is to get a piece of Dark Matter, with a 3 way switch on it. Then, attach two winches to either side of the switch (so they're pulling it instead).

All you have to do then, is connect each of the original switches to the winches (after configuring them, so they pull well), and configure the switches how ever you want!

An example is how I made my helicopter rise and fall. You make it come down to you by standing near a proximity switch, and you can make it rise by grabbing on :)

That's brilliant! I didn't know you could attach winches to three way switches.

[DrunkMiffy]

Neither did I :) Saw it on The Collecters Lair, right at the end :)

Yeah, this is another nifty way to get things done. The creativity in this game is fantastic, nice work.

Wait, so you mean connect the winches to the lever basically right? Wow did not know you could attach stuff to tools.

I used this same technique for making my mech move forward or backward (but not with dark matter, the 3-way-switch w/winches system is hidden in the cockpit). It's very useful.
