Tired of being limited to 4 self-switches per event? This is the tutorial for you.
Add this script as a new section above Main
In Game_Event, replace def initialize with
To use a custom switch, in the event check the self-switch box under conditions (which switch you use there doesn't matter), and add a comment saying which switch. Comment must be in the format
no spaces. Note that self switch names will be converted to lower case.

Example of event flipping the above switch
Edit: Questions that might come up
Q: Can you still use regular switches? (A, B, etc)
A: Absolutely.
Q: Can you have multiple conditions for a page?
A: Nope
Q: What takes precedence over what? (Comment order, regular switches)
A: You have to tick the regular switch box to make the event work, but regular switches are ignored if you have a commented switch. If you have multiple comment switches, the last one on the event page is the only one that matters.

# More Self-Switches
# Version 1.3
# Author game_guy
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Intro:
# Ever need more than 4 self switches? With this small script, you can now
# have as many self switches you want. You aren't just limited to letters
# either. You can have names for them.
#
# Features:
# -More Self Switches
# -Name them whatever
#
# Instructions:
# -First, lets create a self switch for our event. Anywhere in the event, add
# a comment and type this,
# Switch:switch_name.
# switch_name can be whatever you want to name the switch. Thats all you have
# to do to create a self switch for that page.
# There cannot be any spaces between the colon and the switch name.
# e.g. Switch: switch - Does not work.
# e.g. Switch:switch - Does work.
# You also need the Self-Switch box on the page checked.
#
# -Now to turn this switch of or on, call this in a script call.
# self_switch("switch", true/false)
# switch is the switch name, this must be in double " " or single ' ' quotes.
# true/false tells the script whether to turn it off or on. true = on,
# false = off.
#
# -If you want to see if a self switch is on/off, use this script in a
# condtional branch.
# self_switch_state("switch") == true/false
# switch is the switch name, this must be in double " " or single ' ' quotes.
# true = on, false = off
#
# Compatibility:
# Not tested with SDK.
# Should work with anything.
