I don't seem to be able to activate a lever using a pressure pad.
When a certain item lands on a pressure pad, I want a lever on the wall to get pulled. The lever activates a relay.

If I set up the pressure pad to operate the relay directly, it works. But then I don't get the visual representation of the lever being pulled.
If I set up the pressure pad to operate the lever, nothing happens. Nothing at all. Not only doesn't the lever switch to it's alternate state as I would expect when it gets activated, but the relay doesn't trigger.

What's going on?

It doens't work like that, you can enable and disable wall objects as you are doing (make them visible or invisible, invisible versions unable to be clicked on), but wall objects are there to be interractved by the mouse.

What you want to do is make the pressure pad activate the relay directly, and also have the pressure pad make a cloned lever decoration graphic switch from a up to a down version (deactivate to make invisible, activate to make visible).

If this lever is supposed to also be interractable by the party, then you want to clone a level and swap it's alternate graphics with it's normal graphics, and make the two swap around in terms of visibility

Actually, if it was as complicated as that I'd pack it all in and go to live in a commune somewhere lol.

What I did was this:

The pressure pad activates the relay directly.
A second pressure pad on the same square "toggles" the lever. Toggling the lever appears to swap it's graphic.

Interesting, then it's all good!
