: Not having built a map, it's probably silly for me to respond, but it sounds
: like the problem is you want something to happend when you de activate a
: switch - something the game doesn't really support. My suggestion is to
: have a thin dummy platform in front of your switch. Make it transparent
: and texture it with the switch-on texture. Make the real switch a
: momentary-on switch. When the player flips the real switch the first time,
: your platform will immediately cover it and make it look like it has
: stayed on, when it hasn't. When the player flips it the second time, the
: platform in front of it will retract, revealing the original switch, in
: it's off state. To make sure the player doesn't repeat the process,
: however, make sure that the second activation ends up deactivating the
: switch.

: Does this make sense?

Seems like more work than my proposal. If Platform A is initially active, adjacent to Platform B, and is set to activate adjacent platforms upon deactivating, then a Tag should work right. If not, you could use a whole bunch of similar platforms with all the lights you need set to deactivate when their respective platform deactivates, and have the switch simply be a platform switch.
