<p>Drsonic1: </p> <hr /> <div>{{stub}}<br /> <br /> '''Switches''' are a game [[Mechanics|mechanic]] used within the ''Portal'' series. Switches can be found very frequently throughout [[Test Chambers]] and are primarily used to allow the player to trigger or toggle a particular function. A switch can be activated with the &quot;Use&quot; key (default: &lt;code&gt;E&lt;/code&gt;).<br /> <br /> == Uses ==<br /> Switches are used for multiple purposes to initiate a particular action. More common uses include the dropping of a [[Cube]], activating a [[Gel]] pipeline and opening a door. Switches can also be timer-based, where the action, for example extending a platform, is only activated for a specific length of time.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> {{Gallery<br /> |lines=1<br /> |title=Switch<br /> |height=150<br /> |width=150<br /> |File:Switch.png|alt1=Switch|''Portal'' Switch<br /> |File:Portal 2 Switch.png|alt2=''Portal 2'' Switch|''Portal 2'' Switch<br /> |File:1940s Switch.png|alt3=1940s Switch|1940s Switch<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Mechanics]]<br /> * [[Cube#Weighted Companion Cube|Weighted Companion Cube]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{MechanicsNav}}<br /> [[Category:Mechanics]]</div>
