I have a moving gear and a lever. The gear needs to be not moving until the lever is pulled. The lever is connected with a CD link to a relay trap because it needs to get a number of things moving when it is pulled.
So I created an inverter and connected it to my gear with a CD link, expecting it would stop the rotating motion of the gear. Then I CD-linked from the relay trap to the inverter so that when I pulled the lever it would start the gear rotating.
However, the gear still starts ON. There is no change when I pull the lever.
What do I need to do to make it start OFF, then start rotating when I use the lever?

The moving gear needs the TweqOnOff-script
Tweq-->Rotate State-->uncheck "on"
Your setup: Lever-->inverter-->moving gear

Actually it is redundant to have the relay trap in between the lever and gear, and having linking a relay trap to an inverter won't work. Just link the lever to the gear and give the gear the TweqOnOff script. Make sure everything in RotateTweq is set to Off.
This is all from memory and I just woke up so I hope I didn't leave out anything. :o

You also needn't worry about the Tweq > RotateState settings if you just start the lever to off, which you'd want to do anyway so that it comes on with first frob.
Lever --ControlDevice-- Gear
On the gear add the TweqOnOff script
On the lever add Tweq > JointsState > Set the first and third fields to On, Reverse.

Okay. It's all actually starting to make sense. I'm scaring myself!
