Specifying the on/off items that control a virtual switch

In brief

If you specify that a virtual switch will be on when other 'on/off' type items are either all on or any of them are on, then you will need to specify which items these will actually be.

Details

When you select that a virtual switch will be on when other on/off items are on, then ANY-maze will show a list of all the available on/off items and you will be able to simply select those you want to include in the switch.

You can include as many items as you like, and they can be of diverse types (so they needn't all be keys, or all photobeams).

If you include just a single item, then the virtual switch will essentially be the same as that item, making it rather pointless, but ANY-maze won't complain.

If you fail to select any items, then the virtual switch will never be activated; in this case, ANY-maze will warn you that this is the case.
