The main way I use switches is like this: let's say you want team a to spawn a cyclops when all units of theirs die. So you put at mission loaded turn switch bacon off. In another trigger, you put side a contains 0 units: spawn cyclops and turn switch bacon on. Finally you put, side a has no units, and switch bacon is on: end mission for side a: lose

It's "switches" not "swithces", and I have renamed the topic to avoid confusion.

Switches are mostly used for co-ops, and when you want to use an event in two or more separate triggers; most commonly one as an action and one as a condition. Below is an example of how you would use a switch.


You will use the Area Contains Units condition and the Set Switch action. Here's an example:

Conditions: Area 'r4' contains AtLeast 1 Any Unit owned by AllSides.
Actions: Set Switch t2 On.

For the second trigger(and all others using this switch), it will use the Switch On/OFF condition, and will be paired any desired actions. An example would look like this:

Conditions: Switch t2 is On
Actions: Show alert "A unit is in the area!"

I got my example and other references from this topic.
