I need to create a 4 button switch with pictlCtrl toggles. live.switch and mgraphics don't suit my needs right now

This is my current setup which is working well but I want one mode to always be selected but right now you can just click off the selected one, but I don't know how to make the logic do that.

if you insist on using textbutton or pictctrl for whatever reason,

Why don't you use tab or live.tab ?
they both do exctly what you want.

Thank you! i like this, quite a clever setup! I needed to use specific border radiuses for each corner + angled gradients. Cheers!

mgraphics would work fine, but will require you to get the required mouse logic and geometry absorbed.

whenever a new one should be made active, first turn all off, then send set 1 to the recently pressed one. outlet number 17 gives you the button instance number.

and do not forget about the matrixcontrol object, which can also be used for this type of element.

i play the [t 1] game, too.
