Easier inversion of toggles

Ultranova · Jan '21

https://trello.com/c/6f4qq0XE/227-use-to-invert-toggles. Saw this on the trello, re-suggesting it because it would be really helpful, particularly and especially for parts that rely heavily on complicated toggle logic.

Almost everything that uses a toggle can be inverted using an Invert or InvertOperationalToggle parameter or similar.

Walt Individual toggles in a MultiToggle can't be inverted though.

Ultranova Actually they can! Instead of doing something like this:

IsOperational
{
	Type = MultiToggle
	Toggles = [PowerToggle, BatteryStorage]
	Mode = All
}

Do this:

IsOperational
{
	Type = MultiToggle
	Toggles
	[
		{Toggle=PowerToggle, Invert=true}
		{Toggle=BatteryStorage, Invert=true}
	]
	Mode = All
}

Walt once again, you're several steps ahead of me!

Ultranova He knows your every move. Now I understand why the bus is so unpredictable

A logical NOT ("!") operator for toggles could still apply as a short form.

IsOperational
{
	Type = MultiToggle
	Toggles = [PowerToggle, BatteryStorage, !InFTLJumpToggle]
	Mode = All
}

I completely agree, which is why it's already on the Trello. It's just not a high priority because I don't think there are any situations where it would add actual functionality instead of mere convenience.

ONI Eh there's really only been two times that a situation like this has happened. A lot of my suggestions for modding features aren't actually on the forum lol.
