using two differnt codes for two differnt triggers

[reddragon]

  ???I was wounding if there is a way to write two different codes in one and have two triggers PIR and a matsw and have a code for the PIR and a different code for the matsw? If so how would that look? thanks everyone

As ever, I'm still confused by your question.  Do you want two different behaviors for one prop based on the input, or are you trying to control two props with on controller?  If the latter, using one Prop-1 per prop is the cheapest way to go.  You can control two props with one controller but you're usually limited to sequencer type operations and the code is really difficult to write and maintain, especially if you're forced into using a state-machine.  I can write those kinds of programs but I don't think you're at that level yet.

yes two differnt behavors basd on the active trigger at the time. sorry  :-[

If the behaviors aren't running at the same time the coding is pretty straightforward for the Prop-1 or Prop-2.

I would jest use two different IF THEN's  for the triggers am i right for example: if mats = no then pir and if PIR= no then timer does that sound right?

[livinlowe]

That sounds like how I would do it. Do you have any code to try?

Here's how I scan and deal with multiple inputs:
