If there is a way, can you tell me how?
Cause i am writing a dead reck' code, so i wan it to be able to switch the code before the game, you know, like, if i am going to be on the right side, the code makes it go right, an the same with the left.
Thanks.

Oh, one more thing, be happy.

Here's an example of something you could do. I only use three switches, but this could be easily expanded.

The firstSwitch and such are the digital pins that the switches you are using are attched to.

User_Autonomous_Code() in fast_user_routines.c

 
#define SWITCH_ON 1 
#define SWITCH_OFF 0
 
User_Autonomous_Code()
{
	unsigned char autonomousSettings = 0;
 
	// Check switches for settings
	if(firstSwitch == SWITCH_ON)
		autonomousSettings += 1; 
	if(secondSwitch == SWITCH_ON)
		autonomousSettings += 2; 
	if(thirdSwitch == SWITCH_ON)
		autonomousSettings += 4;
 
 
	while(autonomous_mode) // This is the autonomous loop. The switches are evaluated before entering here
	{
		get_data();
 
		// In here, you can have things that use the settings
		switch(autonomousSettings)
		{
			case 1:  // Right side for autonomous mode 1
				break;
			case 2: // Left side for autonomous mode 1
				break;
 
			case 3:  // Right side for autonomous mode 2
				break;
			case 4: // Left side for autonomous mode 2
				break;
 
			case 5: // Right side for autonomous mode 3
				break;
			case 6: // Left side for autonomous mode 3
				break;
 
			case 7: // Misc empty for now. 
				break;
 
			default: // Use this for error checking
				printf("Something went wrong"); 
				break; // Force of habit
		}
 
		put_data();
	}
 
}

Well, anyway, I 'm too lazy to type any more. That should give you the idea, though.
