== How It Works ==

When you enter the game and approach the switch, the lights will be off. By activating the switch, which will be the "off" switch, it disables itself which automatically enables the "On" switch. The "On" switch can be activated repeating the process in reverse. Now by parenting all of your light sources to either switch, they will be enabled or disabled (turned on or off) according to which switch is enabled or disabled. Any number of light sources or other objects can be added to the switch simply by parenting them to the switches or daisy-chaining them together without ever editing the script. Also, you can select the switches and light sources in the render window and duplicate them (ctrl+d) and move the copies anywhere you wish and the copied lights will work with the copied switch without any additional editing.
