? ? Introduction & Description ?
? This small code allows game creators to turn on, off or flip the values of a ?
? group of switches with a script call. ?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
? ? Features ?
? ? Turn on/off a group of switches through script call. ?
? ? Flip values of certain switches through script call. ?
? ? Sets certain switches on/off at random through script call. ?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
? ? How to Use ?
? Call script: group_switch(bool, any number of switches) ?
? bool: ?
? true / "on": turns on a group of switches. ?
? false / "off": turns off a group of switches. ?
? "reverse": flips values of a group switches. ?
? "random" / "?": Either sets a group of switches on or off at random.* ?
? ?
? Example: ?
? group_switch(true, 1,12,18,20,8) ?
? The above script call turns on switches 1, 12, 18, 20 and 8. ?
? ?
? group_switch(false, 5,20,8,10,1,32,64,99) ?
? The above script call turns off switches 5, 20, 8, 10, 1, 32, 64 and 99?
? ?
? group_switch("reverse", 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) ?
? The above script call flips values of switches: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8?
? The switches that were turned on before would be turned off. ?
? The opposite applies to switches that were turned off. ?
? ?
? Also: You could use ranges in the arguments. Here's an example: * ?
? group_switch(true, 1..10, 18, 12..15) ?
? The above call will turn on switches 18, 1 through 10 and 12 through 15. ?
? ?
? * denotes last minute feature added to the script. ?

? ? Credits & Thanks ?
? DerVVulfman: Requested allowing users to use ranges as an argument. ?
? EJlol: Saw that I was using strings for ranges and asked why didn't I use ?
? ranges. From there, I learned a bit about ranges and went on to use ?
? ranges instead of strings. :) ?

endInstructions
Instructions are in the script but I'll post some here. To change the values of a group of switches, use the "Script..." event command. Here's how the call works.
Code:
group_switch(bool, switch ids here)- true / "on": Turns on switches.
- false / "off": Turns off switches.
- "reverse" / "flip" / "invert": Flips the value of switches.
Example:
If Switch ID 1 and 2 was on, and Switch ID 3 was off, and if the user decided to use the call: group_switch("reverse", 1,2,3) then Switch IDs 1 and 2 would be turned off while 3 would turn on. - "random" / "?": Either turns the switch on or off at random.
In the second argument, you could list as many switches as you can. You could use a number or use ranges.
Examples:
group_switch(true, 1..8) would turn on switches 1 to 8.
group_switch(true, 1...8) would turn on switches 1 to 7.
group_switch(true, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) would turn on switches 1 to 8.
group_switch(true, 1..5, 7, 10..14) would turn on switches 1 to 5, 7, and 10 to 14.
FAQ
Awaiting question.
Compatibility
It doesn't mess with any methods of existing classes. :o

Boredom + running out of ideas = this script. The "random" and range features were last minute additions to this script.

I'd like credit for it. :p
