Switch Settings

Prop Wizard base game for a collection-style switch puzzle where all required switches must be in the correct position.

This page covers the Prop Wizard base-game template rather than one fixed setup preset. The exact generated configuration changes with wizard choices such as stage count, output policy, reset mode, feedback modules, and integrations.

Video reference: The Prop Wizard on YouTube.

UI path

1. Open Prop Wizard.
2. Choose Switch Settings.
3. Review the generated latch/switch count.
4. Choose the output and reset behavior.
5. Apply the wizard and inspect Behavior > Logic Rules.

Generated hardware pattern

Generated item	Default	Purpose
Latching switches	4 by default	Generated as latching inputs.
Pixels	24 by default	Available for status/progress feedback.
Output	Selected in wizard	Runs through the same solved output policy as the other templates.

Generated states

• off when not always armed
• armed
• stage_2 through stage_5 when staged
• solved

Logic and behavior pieces

Piece	Generated behavior	Why it matters
Switch Positions	Logic Rule with all matching.	Every generated switch must be true.
Switch Reset Positions	Logic Rule with all matching.	Every generated switch must return false for immediate/timer reset policies.
Solve action	Action Trigger on Switch Positions.	Sets the state to solved or advances a stage.
Reset action	Action Trigger on Switch Reset Positions.	Returns to armed or off depending on reset choices.

What the wizard choices change

Wizard choice	What changes in the generated config
Stage count	Adds stage states and stage-advance action triggers.
Output type	Changes what happens when solved is entered: relay pulse, mag-lock hold/release, actuator movement, or pixel-only output.
Reset mode	Chooses immediate reset, manual reset input, manual network/operator reset, or timer reset.
Always armed	Starts directly in armed; otherwise adds an off state.
Feedback mode	Adds input acknowledgements, success feedback, fail feedback, or richer per-input feedback.
Integration protocol	Adds MQTT, OSC, or HTTP bindings when selected.

Review after applying

• Open Configuration > Connections > Inputs, Outputs, and Modules and confirm generated hardware names and pins.
• Open Configuration > Definitions and review any generated states, level inputs, RFID tag sets, or variables.
• Open Configuration > Behavior > Logic Rules and confirm the generated condition checks.
• Open Configuration > Behavior > Action Triggers and confirm the output, reset, feedback, and state-change steps.
• Open Configuration > Lighting if pixel feedback was enabled.

Design notes

• Use this when the physical puzzle is about positions being correct at the same time, not input order.
• The important settings to review are the input polarity and the logic rule conditions.
• For a staged switch puzzle, the wizard creates per-stage solve rules and an Any Success aggregator.
