So, I am new to writing in I7 (if you couldn’t tell by my postcount), and I’ve hit a snag in a project that I would like some help with.
I am trying to create a puzzle where, in order to stage a train robbery, the player has to get said train onto the right track. The way I have it figured out right now, there are a bunch of points along train tracks in one location that can be changed. These points are controlled by switches in a building inside from the larger area, with each pull of a switch changing two specific points along the junction. Where I am getting stuck are these areas:
-Figuring out what the points should be understood as (objects? backdrops? etc.) and how to assign values to them (in this case, whether the rail changes are straight or changed)
-Can a switch only be used to turn something on and off, or can it be used to alter another kind of value?
Basically, I can’t figure out from the documentation how to assign a value to a fixed object and get a switch to change that value. Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
