Look: "on" switches are totally useless, because they act the trigger
immediately player enters the room. Multi-action switces are useless
too, because, in fact, this is the same simple switch, which acts the
trigger only once.

So, I think they are of no use. Let there be only simple switches.

By using the apparently useless settings you can make what the manual
calls a "useless ornament" which is 16x8px instead of the usual
16x16px you'd get from a guardian (plus it's harmless). I've used that
several times already. The other option is a switch which goes on and
off constantly while Willy is touching it. While this isn't
particularly useful, I could imagine using it for graphical effects in
the future...?
