Overview
The Slide Switch is a component that simulates a physical control switch.
The Slide Switch only works in runtime.
Where to find
The Slide switch can be found under Standard Components > Slide Switch > Add Physical component.
This will add the Slide Switch component to the currently selected object or create a new empty GameObject with the component attached if no objects are selected. If there is no Prismatic Joint present on the object it will also be added.
The Slide Switch must be placed as a child of a Kinematics Controller in the hierarchy.

How to use
Create a new switch state and define its values.
2. Add an action to a switch state.
3. Add another switch state so it is possible to change between switch states. (This switch state does not need to have action added to it.)
4. Test if the actions are executed in runtime.
