Property Editor: Switch Group

The Switch Group Property Editor is where you map the different Switches within the Switch Group to a specific Game Parameter. After the mapping is complete, the parameter values coming from the game will determine which Switch is active within a Switch Container, resulting in different sounds, music, or motion objects playing. Switch changes then will be based on parameter values from the game.

Zooms in towards the center of the graph view.

Resets the graph view to the default zoom factor ratio of 1:1.

Zooms out from the center of the graph view.

Coordinates

X

The coordinate along the X axis of the selected control point.

If more than one control point is selected, the field displays a value of 0, so that you can increase or decrease the value of all selected control points relative to their current values. For example, if you select two control points and type -5 in the X text box, both control points will move to the left by 5 units.

Y

The coordinate along the Y axis of the selected control point.

If more than one control point is selected, the field displays a value of 0, so that you can increase or decrease the value of all selected control points relative to their current values. For example, if you select two control points and type -5 in the Y text box, both control points will move down by 5 units.

(Game Parameter)

The Game Parameter that is mapped to the different Switches within this Switch Group.

Opens the New Switch dialog box where you can name the Switch that you want to create.
