Hi Forum Goers,
I have a quick question regarding a VCS coding issue: how do I code a toggle button so that the drive train controls reverse when pressed? Hopefully that makes sense. Here’s what I have now, but it’s not working properly, as the toggle button will never switch. Hope you can help!

bool ClawIsFront = false;
while (ClawIsFront == false)
{
lift(); /////lift control method
intake(); ////intake control method
drive(); //////regular drive controls

}
if (Controller2.ButtonA.pressing())
{
    ClawIsFront = !ClawIsFront;
}   
while (ClawIsFront == true)
{
lift();
intake();
flipdrive();   /////REVERSED driving controls
}

The code following the first while loop will never be reached.

Oh shoot! Thank you! Should the new code look something like this?

while (ClawIsFront == false)
{
lift(); /////lift control method
intake(); ////intake control method
drive(); //////regular drive controls
if (Controller2.ButtonA.pressing())
{
ClawIsFront = !ClawIsFront;
break;
}

}
while (ClawIsFront == true)
{
lift();
intake();
flipdrive(); /////REVERSED driving controls

if (Controller2.ButtonA.pressing())
{
ClawIsFront = !ClawIsFront;
break;
}

}
