== Introduction ==

[[File:SwitchOptions1.png|600px]]

Want to know how to set a Switch condition to ON/OFF based off what setting an option command is using?

This will be a TL;DR article without all the fluff text.

{{Article by Arisu}}

== What You Need ==

=== RPG Maker MV Users ===

[[File:YEP.162.jpg|300px|link=Advanced Switches & Variables (YEP)]]

If you are using [[RPG Maker MV]], install the [[Advanced Switches & Variables (YEP)|Advanced Switches & Variables]] plugin.

=== RPG Maker MZ Users ===

[[File:VisuMZ.005.jpg|300px|link=Events and Movement Core VisuStella MZ]]

If you are using [[RPG Maker MZ]], install the [[Events and Movement Core VisuStella MZ|Events & Movement Core]] plugin.

== What You Need To Do ===

=== Step 1 ===

[[File:SwitchOptions2.png]]

First, identify the options command you want to bind to a switch.

Let's use the example '''Always Dash''' because it's available to both [[RPG Maker MV]] and [[RPG Maker MZ]] users.

You can do this by looking in the '''rpg_managers.js/rmmz_managers.js''' file in your /js/ folder.

Do a CTRL+F for "ConfigManager" and look at the parameters available.

=== Step 2 ===

Next, create a new Switch using the plugin you've installed.

Name it as such:

* '''RPG Maker MV Users:''' Eval: ConfigManager.alwaysDash
* '''RPG Maker MZ Users:''' <nowiki><JS> ConfigManager.alwaysDash </JS></nowiki>

=== Step 3 ===

Finally, use it as a switch condition in either a conditional branch switch or event page condition switch.

If the option is OFF, the switch will be OFF/false. If the option is ON, the switch will be ON/true.

That's it!

== How to Find Options from Options Core ==

[[File:VisuMZ.010.jpg|300px|link=Options Core VisuStella MZ]]

If you are using the [[Options Core VisuStella MZ|Options Core]], for either [[RPG Maker MV]] or [[RPG Maker MZ]], and you are wondering what to use for that instead of '''ConfigManager.alwaysDash''', here's how you can find out.

[[File:SwitchOptions5.png]]

# Look at the option you want to get the replacement text for
# Look at the '''Symbol''' parameter
# Take the text used for that and replace '''alwaysDash''' in '''ConfigManager.alwaysDash''' with it
# Case sensitive, if you capitalize someone or lowercase something, it won't work
# Something like '''showCompass''' will be inputted as '''ConfigManager.showCompass''' in the switch name

== Minor Notes ==

Some things like volume and encounter rates may not use ON/OFF cases, but instead, use numbers. In that case, instead of a switch, use a variable.

== Conclusion ==

That's it. Nothing terribly special or verbose but a helpful technique for those who may be doing things that may be directly tied to options configurations.
