[PK8]

Common Event Self Switches VX
Version: 1

Introduction
This script is a similar to that of the built in feature: Self Switches. For those not familiar with Self Switches, Self Switches pretty much pertain to a specific event. Example: Treasure Chests.

Common Event Self Switches allows developers to set certain switches pertaining to a certain Common Event.

Features

• Set Common Event's self switches via call script.
  
• Get Common Event's self switches via call script.

? ? Setting up a Common Event's self switch:                                   ?
?   To set a self switch for a common event, you'll need to call this script:  ?
?     ce_self_switch(ceid, id, bool)                                           ?
?       ceid: Common Event's ID                                                ?
?       id:   Common Event's Self Switch ID. Example: 'A', 'B'                 ?
?       bool: true or false.                                                   ?
?   Example: ce_self_switch(1, 'A', true) sets the first Common Event's switch ?
?            "A" to true.                                                      ?
?                                                                              ?
? ? Getting a Common Event's self switch:                                      ?
?   To get a self switch of a Common Event, you can call this script.          ?
?     ce_self_switch(ceid, id)                                                 ?
?       ceid: Common Event's ID                                                ?
?       id:   Common Event's Self Switch ID. Example: 'A', 'B'                 ?
?   Example: ce_self_switch(1, 'A') gets Common Event's switch "A".            ?

? ? Using Common Event's self switches in evented if conditions.               ?
?   To do this, go to the conditional branch event command, click on the fourth?
?   tab, select Script and type either of these in the input form:             ?
?       ce_self_switch(ceid, id) == true                                       ?
?       ce_self_switch(ceid, id) == false                                      ?

Author's Notes
Lowell/Adalwulf mentioned creating a "Personal Variables" system which filled my head in with ideas about variables and switches. One of these ideas being giving COMMON EVENTS their own self switches.
