Help: reactivate a switch without reloading the map

[froggy77]

Hello,

I don't understand how to activate/reactivate a simple switch without reloading the map.
I works for crystal blocks, I would like the same behavior for a "light switch" to turn on / turn off the light and I would select my own sprites.

It's the same problem for the switch in the "test map" called Outside B2 (Village) of the tutorial. If I want to disappear again the ladder of the map, how should I do?
Once enabled, the switch (crystal) remains in yellow and can not be hit with the sword.

local map = ...
local game = map:get_game()

function light_switch:on_activated()

  light_tile:set_visible(false)
end

function light_switch:on_inactivated()

  light_tile:set_visible(true)
end

One solution is to deactivate the switch as soon as it is activated. So, when it is activated (in switch:on_activated()), you call switch:set_activated(false), change something in its sprite and trigger whatever mechanism you want.
When the player hits it again, since it was deactivated, the switch:on_activated() is executed again.

From the point of view of the player, the switch has two states. From the point of view of the engine, it is always deactivated.

Thank you Christopho 
It may be possible to improve the script, but it works. I agree that you correct if you see an error.
