Using Switch Devices

There are two ways you can use a Switch.

• As a physical switch that players can interact with, used with other devices so that players can open and close doors or turn lights off and on. If the Switch is made invisible, you can also use it to add interactivity to a prop!
• As a method for filtering interactions with other devices. For example, if the state of the Switch is On, it send an event, and if the Switch is Off, it will send a different event.

To find the Switch device, see Using Devices.

Contextual Filtering

Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This feature will reduce clutter in the Customize panel and make options easier to manage and navigate.

However, it may not be easy to recognize which options or values trigger contextual filtering. To help you identify them, any values that trigger contextual filtering are in italic. All options will be listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option's value, there will be a note about that in the Description field for that option.
