Buttons that stay pressed after you die

Hi again,

I was wondering what the process was to create buttons that stay pushed, even after you die. I am putting a set of secrets into a level but want it to remain active even if the player dies. So far dying resets the system. However, in Mystic Realm's Sunken Plant Zone, there are buttons that stay pushed even after you die. I found nothing on the Wiki (unless I missed something, which is possible) or on examining the map. Click for example.

EDIT: Well I just looked at the level header (don't know why I didn't do it earlier) and I saw the aspect NoReload = 1. I'm assuming this is what I'm looking for?

Thanks Spiritcrusher! That's just what I was looking for. However, does it respawn crumbling platforms, or leave them crumbled (I assume)? (If not I can just change them to respawn, it's no biggie)
