What should I name this setting? - PK8 - 05-15-2011

Alright, here's a really weird support topic I'm throwing at you. I'm not sure if this would be even fitting for support but here goes.

In a lot of my event scripts, I have this setting titled "mids" where game creators could specify which map IDs a system would be disabled for. Now, I'm attempting to add a new setting and I have a good idea as to how it's going to function, but I'm just not sure what to name it.

This new setting would work in conjunction with the "mids" setting I have so far, and it would work like this:
  • If the new setting is set to false then the system would work in maps that aren't specified in the "mids" setting.
  • If the new setting is set to true then the system would only work in maps that are specified in the "mids" setting.
An appropriate name for this setting is all I'm looking for in this thread.

mids? Sounds like Midi to me. I would use maps_ids personally. And on that, maps_on to match.

Or... P_Map_IDs / P_Map_On Winking

Oh man, you're right! Alright, back to the drawing board for me.

One other question though. I'm thinking about having a setting in which the game creator could specify a certain Switch ID that would deactivate the system if said switch is turned on. Got an idea for a name?
