On / Off Switch

Special mention to Orange#0513 for the idea to revamp the method ever since variables were implemented

Requirements+

• ExecutableItems Premium

NOTE: CREATE 2 ACTIVATORS FIRST.

First activator

Create a variable

• A variable needs to be created so we can have an identifier if the switch is on/off

You click on this icon to open the variables editor

You basically just create a variable

For the id, there's nothing really specific. for this guide, we will label our variable as "x"

It doesn't really matter if it's a number or string

For this tutorial we will use the value of 0

Create your item, and add an activator

• In this case it will be a PLAYER_ALL_CLICK

Commands

• Type what commands you want to type

Variables Modification

First click this icon in the activator editor

Create a variable modification

Select the variable that we created earlier

Set the type of modification to SET

We will be setting the value other than 0 so the same activator can't run for the 2nd time

Placeholder Condition

• This is needed to control what activator is going to run

First we go to conditions

Then to placeholder conditions

Of course, we have to create a placeholder condition

PLAYER_STRING is an option too

We will use the placeholder for the variable we created. Use %var_x_int% if you still used PLAYER_STRING

We will use this comparator

We will use 0 value as the "off" option

Add the other item cooldown to the item itself

• For example, the id of the ei item is onoff-demo. You would then have to go to this icon then follow the pictures.

For example, the id of the on/off switch is "faker", so select "faker".

Ever since 5.0 dropped, activator ids start from "activator0" instead of "activator1". Anyway, you would want to select the second activator as activators run from top to bottom.

This option is important because if there's no cooldown, it will ram through the the 2nd activator that's supposed to turn off the activator

Set the cooldown to 1 or 2. You decide

This is suggested to be set to true if you want the item to be spammable. One tick is enough to prevent the ramming mentioned above.

Second activator

• We will use again PLAYER_ALL_CLICK

Commands

• Type what commands you want to type

Variables Modification

First click this icon in the activator editor

Create a variable modificationng

Select the variable that we created earlier

Set the type of modification to SET

We will be setting the value other than 1 so the same activator can't run for the 2nd time

Placeholder Condition

• This is needed to control what activator is going to run

First we go to conditions

Then to placeholder conditions

Of course, we have to create a placeholder condition

PLAYER_STRING is an option too

We will use the placeholder for the variable we created. Use %var_x_int% if you still used PLAYER_STRING

We will use this comparator

We will use 1 value as the "on" option

Add the other item cooldown to the item itself

• For example, the id of the ei item is onoff-demo. You would then have to go to this icon then follow the pictures.

For example, the id of the on/off switch is "faker", so select "faker".

Set the cooldown to 1 or 2. You decide

This is suggested to be set to true if you want the item to be spammable. One tick is enough to prevent the ramming mentioned above.

Save the EI Item

• It should look like this (We added on commands to say ON (activator1) and OFF (activator2) to show you how it is working :p
