Ejects

A control may be used to switch other controls on and off.

  • That control Ejects and Sets other controls.
  • Example: You can create a button that, when clicked, sets all of your clothing to be a swimsuit, and ejects all items that are not normally worn with a swimsuit.
note

In this documentation page, we will use two similar terms to describe distinct concepts:

  • A control is Switched ON when the user toggles the item on the Menu ON.
  • A control is Active when the control is simultaneously Switched ON and additional conditions of the control are satisfied.

When a control is Active, the effects of that control will be visible: Objects will be toggled, properties will change, etc.

It is possible for the user to Switch ON a control without causing any effect to be visible if the additional conditions are not satisfied. Therefore, a control can be Switched ON and still remain Inactive.

What are Ejects?​

Ejects can handle situations that aren't covered by flags or item slots.

  • When a control with an eject becomes active, other controls of your choice will be switched ON or OFF.

Pictured above: When this control becomes active, this will switch a clothing item ON, and switch three other clothing items OFF.

note

Ejects do not permanently switch other slots ON or OFF; the other controls are switched when the current control becomes active (or when it becomes inactive).

When to use it?​

Ejects can be used for item sets:

  • Example: You can create a button that, when clicked, sets all of your clothing to be a swimsuit, and ejects all items that are not normally worn with a swimsuit.

Ejects can be used for turning specific objects ON or OFF.

  • Example: You can make it so that when a specific summer-themed dress becomes active, then a specific summer-themed hat will be switched ON.

Ejects can be used alongside flags to turn specific objects ON or OFF.

  • Example: You can make it so that when some specific items raise a flag, then a specific item will be switched OFF.

How to use​

  • In one of your controls:
    • In the Ejects and Sets panel:
      • Select the section appropriate for you:
        • The When this becomes active section will switch other controls ON or OFF when the current control becomes active.
        • The When this becomes inactive section will switch other controls ON or OFF when the current control becomes inactive.
      • Drag and drop another control in the "+" field.
      • If you want to switch that control OFF, keep it in the Switch OFF state.
      • If you want to switch that control ON, press the "Switch OFF" button so that it becomes Switch ON.
