A Patch Vector could be used to reverse the effect of flicking the switch to 'On', in the event that Willy turns the switch back off again. e.g. You could have a guardian start moving once the switch is turned On, so that the guardian moves out of the way of the room exit, but it is essential to stop the guardian in its tracks at a certain point before it hits an obstacle (killing Willy).
