Troop : Self Switches

[Kain Nobel]

Introduction

I was eventing introductory messages for some of my troops, and I was wanting to disable it with a simple self switch. The only problem? Troops don't have self switches! Well, now they do, thanks to yours truly!

Features

• Set self switches on troops
  
• Plug 'n play
  
• Requires no fancy script calls, just normal eventing
