# Intro:

# Ever need more than 4 self switches? With this small script, you can now

# have as many self switches you want. You aren't just limited to letters

# either. You can have names for them.

#

# Features:

# -More Self Switches

# -Name them whatever

#

# Instructions:

# -First, lets create a self switch for our event. Anywhere in the event, add

# a comment and type this,

# Switch:switch_name.

# switch_name can be whatever you want to name the switch. Thats all you have

# to do to create a self switch for that page.

# There cannot be any spaces between the colon and the switch name.

# e.g. Switch: switch - Does not work.

# e.g. Switch:switch - Does work.

# You also need the Self-Switch box on the page checked.

#

# -Now to turn this switch of or on, call this in a script call.

# self_switch("switch", true/false)

# switch is the switch name, this must be in double " " or single ' ' quotes.

# true/false tells the script whether to turn it off or on. true = on, 

# false = off.

#

# -If you want to see if a self switch is on/off, use this script in a

# condtional branch.

# self_switch_state("switch") == true/false

# switch is the switch name, this must be in double " " or single ' ' quotes.

# true = on, false = off

#

# Compatibility:

# Not tested with SDK.

# Should work with anything.
