Basically, it's much easier to debug, modify, and make complex Python scripts, so when possible, it may be better to do as much in Python as possible.
To that end, here are some (no doubt imperfect) things Wodan and I used in the present working version of Oolbahnneea. (It originated as a modified Boblishman script, so some of the names reflect that.)
The Alcscipt for two (for brevity) of the twelve buttons and the door that is to be opened.

Now then, Button1Oneshot is the avatar's hand animation, and Button1 is the clickable itself. Note that here we simultaneously call the BoolToogle and But1resp actions when it is clicked. The But1resp action is the avatar animation, and the BoolToggle calls our Python file. (BoolToggle is only called that for historic reasons.) We also have the (uncalled) BoolRespond action in the first button (it doesn't actually matter what object we stick it on, since it is only called at initialisation.) This ties the door's animation to sdl in the usual way, which may be useful because we can then control the door animation in Python via SDL and have it network-synched.
As for the Python code: firstly, ignore the OnServerInitComplete and OnSDLNotify functions. OnNotify is what is called when a button is clicked. The starting stuff checks the state (to make sure the button was going down, not up). In this case, the logic really begins with the "if button.startsWith('puzzle2'):" line. And from here, it is easy to add/modify logic since it is in pure Python!
I hope this may help someone is some way, and feel free to ask questions or recommend simplifications!
