What has been provided so far for the Housing API is great -- and we have been able to build a number of useful (and fun) add-ons with it. Given housing's popularity, a large number of requests have been made by players. One very common request has been for the ability to automatically reset lights, incense and other interactive items to a particular state (On, Off, etc.). With that in mind, I wanted to suggest 3 new, related functions if at all possible:
- Function to read the current "State" of a specific Furniture Id. For example:
HousingEditorGetFurnitureState( furnitureId ) returns "On" or "Off" for a given Light furnishing. Ideally, this would work for any furnishing that has multiple states.
- Function to set the current "State" of a specific Furniture Id. For example:
HousingEditorToggleFurnitureState( furnitureId, state ) could change an Incense to "On" or "Off".
- Function to identify the possible states of a given Furniture Id. For example:
HousingEditorGetPossibleFurnitureStates( furnitureId ) returns { "On", "Off" } for an interactive Light.
