How to get On/Off options for effects on objects (SOLVED) Nov 2, 2016 7:24:46 GMT -5

Hello!

I was wondering if someone knows how to get the on/off interactions on objects to activate an effect.
My object already has the effect I want it to have, but I want people to be able to set it on and off.

One of the objects I already looked at is AOM's;AOM_Deco_8Candles, which has a light on and off switch to it.
But I don't think that's really the thing I'm looking for as my effect isn't a light, but maybe I'm wrong about that as the candle effect is just an effect too.

After that, I looked at the "Ghost Laser Light Show" I don't know the english word of it, but in Studio you can search for it by typing down 1A60E
This is what the tuning of this object looks like:

Changing the effect on this object works, but then it still got the sounds of the original ghost light show thingy, which I don't want.
I also don't know how to delete only the sounds of this object.

I don't know about other objects which have a more simpler on/off switch on them to activate just ones single effect.
I will probably also have to change more then just this object tuning, like interaction tuning or maybe state tuning too. I just don't know which ones and how.. :( Is there someone with more knowledge about this?

i know that j did an effect bottle for her Drifter Wonder's set. You can check it out here, maybe it will help you out?

The bottle has an on / off switch which triggers the effect.

Thanks inabadromance!

I did know of that set, but didn't know those bottles had an on/off switch too.
Turns out she also used the LaserLightShow object. But she removed some parts from the tuning. I'm now going to compare hers to the original one.

Thank you very much, this will probably help me out indeed.

no problem at all, it took me ages to learn the buyable/edible food thing.. even though the steps were all there. There's so many numbers and things to copy that you can get easily confused XD.
