[script] simplified power switch in Scripting

A "simplified" version of your standard power switch. This "simplified" version allows for easy control over what gets turned on when you use the trigger (for example, if i only wanted the pack-a-punch machine on and not anything else) This can also be used to replicate Shangri-la's power switches where you need to activate both to turn on the power, or even require you to flip multiple switches to activate the power.

As a fair warning, You will need to copy/paste/edit each function for EACH power switch in your map, otherwise some of the visual affects won't work, aswell as modify the KVP's of the power switch prefab as needed. Also you NEED to have the original power switch somewhere in your map, doesn't matter where, you just need it. So yeah, you need to have average level script know-how to use this.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

power_switch_1()
{
	//Used for setting the notify's for the perk machines aswell as the trigger,
	//you will need to copy/paste this function for multiple switches.
	//make sure to change the KVP info for each power switch if needed.
	trig = getent("power_switch_1", "targetname");
	trig.zombie_cost = 0;
	trig sethintstring("Press & hold &&1 to turn perks on");

	while(1)
	{
		trig waittill( "trigger", who );
		{
			if( is_player_valid( who ) )
			{
				if( who.score >= trig.zombie_cost )
				{
					level notify("juggernog_on");
					level notify("sleight_on");
					level notify("doubletap_on");
					level notify( "Pack_A_Punch_on" );
					level notify( "revive_on" );
					level thread power_switch_init();
					trig delete();
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
power_switch_visual_1()
{
	// Makes the switch look normal, we NEED to run a seperate function on EACH switch that we use
	//them
	sub_switch_1 = getent("power_switch_lever","targetname");	
	sub_switch_1 notsolid();

	sub_switch_1 rotateroll(-90,.3);
	sub_switch_1 playsound("switch_flip");
	playfx(level._effect["switch_sparks"] ,getstruct("power_switch_fx_1","targetname").origin);
 
	ClientNotify( "pl1" );	// power lights on
	exploder(600);
