Puzzle Problems

How would I make the following puzzles?

1. Button Mash. 12 switches on the floor. All must be pressed down to proceed. The catch is that each switch stays down for 4 seconds.

2. Timed Hit. A switch must be hit at the Exact Moment the "green light" is on.

A quick walkthrough would be great! 

You don't mind if I write this down while I figure this out do you? alright then


Now then I would say 12 switches for the button, each is an event that has 2 pages.

Page off  (hero push action button) turn switch button 1 on
Page on (switch button 1 on) (parrell progress)  Wait 40th's of a sec. Turn switch button 1 off


Do that for all the buttons,

And then make another parrell progress event to check the switches (long long long condition branch.)

is switch 1 on?
is switch 2 on?
is switch 3 on?
etc.
is switch 12 on?
Turn switch 13 (all on)  on
end
end
end
etc

Page 2 of non button event,
switch 13 on (do what ever you wish)



Number two the time hit

like number 1 you want a parrell progress to not be in effect

Let v1 = timer
say when v1 =  5 it is green light (loops at 10)

condition branch

if v1 < 11
V1 + 1
wait 1 second (10)
else
v1 = 0
end


The light = 2 pages

page on red light
Need nothing

Page two green light
trigger : Varible 1 = 5



The switch

Active when hero pushes key

Condition branch
if v1 = 5
do what you want the good result to be
else
...ZAP!!!! death, restart from the begainning trap hole you name it
end
