I have the map that is a bathroom were every one is small. I have a light switch on the wall. I would like to make it possible to shoot that switch, and have the exaust fan come on... then shut off on it's own. Then be unavailable for the remainder of the minute. The desired effect is to suck everybody into the fan-of-death, everybody who was above the half-way point in room height. Like the gravity well (my favorite) without the blue ball effect, etc. I like the being whipped around part, but eventually I gotta hit the fan.

Any better ideas?
