    I found it... it a side effect of the new change value block. When I set the slider value to 0 by clicking on the button, it executes the block as the event "value changed" is fired and the execution says : set button value to true...
    So I added an IF slider value <> 0 block on the value change block.

  I have a question when using the "infrared transmitter".
  Is it normal that the output stops when I hide the transmitter (color sensor on PoweredUp hub) ? Does that mean there is a permanent IR link ? Not like with the Lego controller which just send an "impulse".
  To demonstrate this, I used 2 IR receiver with 1 transmitter, I run a motor on port A receiver 1, when I run another motor on port A receiver 2, the first motor stops. It is not possible to have both running at the same time.
  Another point, even with the application stopped, it seems that the IR link is still present : the led is flashing on the IR receiver and stops when I hide the transmitter (color sensor on PoweredUp hub).  less

    Lénárd Pásztor yes, this is a permanent IR link, I think the LEGO ir remote does the same too.
    If you are using multiple IR receiver with the samce channel they sould act the same. Can you please create a video about your setup, is it interesting that the motor stops.

If not, it should be interesting to add a Trigger section. Indeed, when initializing your app on a start event, triggering an event can avoid code duplicated by "simulating" the touch start event.
  For example:
  I would like to initialise all switches of my train track when I start the app.
  Now, I have to initialise all button and motors on a start event but also on each touch start of my buttons. With a trigger, I will just have to trigger the touch start event to all my buttons.
  Hope this make sens.  less
