is there a way to make a button that turns a constant-fire weapon on/off?
more specifically, im wanting to make a vehicle that sprays toxins on location like the toxin truck's special ability, but have buttons that work like an on/off switch and have it be able to keep spraying at its own location while moving

What about a button that gives an upgrade? Can you turn on the behavior based on what upgrades the unit has?

Unless I'm very much mistaken, this should do it:
[code]CommandButton Command_SpawnToxins
Command = SPECIAL_POWER
SpecialPower = SpecialAbilitySpawnToxins
Options = CHECK_LIKE OK_FOR_MULTI_SELECT
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:Contaminate
ButtonImage = SSContaminate
ButtonBorderType = ACTION
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGLAFireToxinTractorSlime
End[/code][code] Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_Toxins
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilitySpawnToxins
OCL = OCL_SpawnToxins
End[/code][code]SpecialPower SpecialAbilitySpawnToxins
Enum = SPECIAL_DETONATE_DIRTY_NUKE
ReloadTime = 0
PublicTimer = No
ShortcutPower = No
End[/code][code]ObjectCreationList OCL_SpawnToxins
CreateObject
ObjectNames = PoisonFieldMedium
End
End[/code]
The last one is just an example. It would most likely have to be a special object that spawns the anthrax field based on upgrades. It can also spawn the toxin spreading FX.
Alternatively, you can have it automatically turn on and off by turning it into a normal weapon that uses FireOCL to spawn the poison field.
