Controlling Switches by Scripts

[McP]

Hi, I am using Aleworks Options Menu v2 .5 and i want this script to control a switch when turning an option on or off in the option menu.
So I set up the script properly to display my new option( I think) but that doesn't affect the game yet.
Heres the part of the script thats important I think:

 when 17 # HDR
    return nil if type != 0
    if @HDR_Effekt == true
      @HDR_Effekt = false
    else
      @HDR_Effekt = true
    end
    end

i tried to do it like this:

when 17 # HDR
    return nil if type != 0
    if @HDR_Effekt == true
      @HDR_Effekt = false
        def []=(switch_id, value)
      @game_switches[200] == false
      end
    else
      @HDR_Effekt = true
        def []=(switch_id, value)
            @game_switches[200] == true
            end
    end
    end

but thats also doing nothing.. so what am I doing wrong?
I think i might need to do something with updating but i don't know how..
so help plz

$game_switches[id] = true/false is how you manage switches using RGSS.

So this "@game_switches[200]" becomes $game_switches[200] = true

that still doesn't make the options menu change the variable...
it looks like this now

when 17 # HDR
    return nil if type != 0
    if @HDR_Effekt == true
      @HDR_Effekt = false
        def []=(switch_id, value)
      $game_switches[200] = false
      end
    else
      @HDR_Effekt = true
        def []=(switch_id, value)
            $game_switches[200] = true
            end

Whoa maybe I should look next time, hehe. Anyways

def []=(switch_id, value) has to go, along with the end that goes along with it. You cannot have a definition inside another definition. return nil if type != 0 is also not needed, and you forgot to close off your IF statements with end. So:

when 17 # HDR
    return nil if type != 0
    if @HDR_Effekt == true
      @HDR_Effekt = false
        def []=(switch_id, value)
      $game_switches[200] = false
      end
    else
      @HDR_Effekt = true
        def []=(switch_id, value)
            $game_switches[200] = true
            end

becomes

when 17 # HDR
    if @HDR_Effekt == true
      @HDR_Effekt = false
      $game_switches[200] = false
    else
      @HDR_Effekt = true
       $game_switches[200] = true
    end
