Switches wont work properly

[mtgmaster]

I'm trying to turn on a switch using RGSS. It looks like its turned on properly when I test it (p $game_switches[switch_id]) but it doesn't work in-game. I've tried adding '$game_switches = Game_Switches.new' before it and it didn't help.

This is the class its in, I'm also wondering if this is the correct way to edit a method in another class too. Oh and this is my first script so expect the worst.  :dead:

Thanks for any help.

add $game_map.need_refresh=true after it.
