 +===== Timed Splat Switch (Reversible Paintable Target) =====
 +Despite name and appearance, Obj_SwitchPaint(Small)Timer(Octa) is fairly different object from the perspective of a level editor. The most important part is that it instead refers to RailToggleOcta, the object that allows objects attached via ActorBindable to move back and forth across a rail according the player action. A more complete explanation can be found at [[blitz:special|Invisible Objects]].

 These are the lasers normally exclusively seen in Escape 4: Intestinal Phase. They serve quite a useful function as insta-kill object, allowing for the creation of custom level boundaries and hazards. These are the lasers normally exclusively seen in Escape 4: Intestinal Phase.

-Both of the current map editors use the generic box for the damage laser asset. The laser itself is roughly 2/3 of the length of the box, with the laser going from the U side to the D side. It should be noted, the hitbox can stretched in all directions, not just the Y axis (the axis which the laser itself visibly extends across). It is recommended this is only used if you are trying to make insta-kill boundaries, such as the kill zone at the bottom of the map.+Both of the current map editors use the generic box for the damage laser asset. The laser itself is roughly 2/3 of the length of the box, with the laser going from the U side to the D side. It should be noted, the hitbox can stretched by scaling the X axis, not just the Y axis (the axis which the laser itself visibly extends across). This extends the hitbox in both the X and Z dimensions (scaling the Z axis appears to have minimal effect), seemingly in the shape of a circle. This hitbox appears to be roughly 1/3 the width of the box.

 +It is recommended to mainly use X axis scaling for making insta-kill boundaries due to the lack of visual clarity. Another issue is that lasers do not consistently render upon respawn. Further research is needed as to the circumstances.
  
 While setting it to team 0 makes it appear the player's colour, it is still insta-kill. I would recommend keeping it a team 2 for visual clarity. While setting it to team 0 makes it appear the player's colour, it is still insta-kill. I would recommend keeping it a team 2 for visual clarity.
