How do I - disable all hints/turn on lights with a switch?

[GoreGrinder99]

Are the lights off when you enter the room or are you trying to switch them off?

For right now they are set off but later on I want them to be on and me enter a script area where they all turn off and then I have to flip a fuse to turn them all back on.

You'll have to change

Code: (Select All)

SetLocalVarInt("candlestick_wall_1", 1);

to

Code: (Select All)

SetLocalVarInt("candlestick_wall_1", 0);

so it'll direct the script to the part where it turns the lights on instead of where it turns the lights off.

Okay very nice but it still turns off and on afterwards simply by clicking on the lever, is that normal?

No it's not normal, at least not for the effect you're intending.

Here's the problem:

Code: (Select All)

SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("lever_nice01_1", "LightsFunction", false);

You're using SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback which means it will trigger instantly whenever the player interacts with it, for example simply touching it.

Use this instead:

Code: (Select All)

SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever_nice01_1", "LightsFunction");

Code: (Select All)

void RemoveHint (string& asName);
void BlockHint (string& asName);
void UnBlockHint (string& asName);

asName - Name of the Hint.

Note that you have to use this for every hint.

I removed the Hints section in the menu.cfg, problem eliminated. No more hints.
