Bumbleball - "living" test element
1. Add the bumbleball dropper to your map
2. Give it a name (bbdropper)
3. Add a button; Give it OnPressed; bbdropper; "instance:Spawn;Trigger"
4. Add the bumbleball button.
5. Create a relay with the outputs that should be done when the button is pressed (bb_pressed_relay)
6. Do the same thing for bb_unpressed_relay.
7. Go to the bumbleball button again
8. Go to Replace, $OnPressedRelay and replace ??? with bb_pressed_relay
9. Replace $OnUnPressedRelay's ??? with bb_unpressed relay.
That should do it.
Thanks for the Help!
So, quite on accident I've believe I've discovered what the issue is with BumbleBalls - where the dropper seems to randomly fail to work. They have an AddOutput command to change the classname for easy filtering, which is a very neat feature. However, this makes save files break - when saving they're written in as a prop_bumbleball, then the game fails to recreate the entity while loading. That'd cause the dropper to lose its contents, jamming it.

Anyone using this should remember to put autosaves in your map and disable quicksaving. Quciksaving bugs the bumbleball droppers.
Autosaving would break it as well, and disabling quicksaves is not a good idea.
