Switch statements with string case values

[palistov]

What you posted is a switch function with integer-type case values, which is the norm with Amnesia scripting. That structure is great for step-wise in-game events, like fainting in a hallway or a cave-in with lots of sounds and such.

However, I'm trying to find a way to execute a case based on a timer's name, which isn't simply an integer. I want the timer to be named according to what it does, so I and anyone else reading it can easily follow the flow of the script.

Also I'm not sure if that will work, since you're trying to convert a string to an integer in that code.
