Additional Toggles

Material Swap

The material swap toggle changes the Magic 8 Ball so that it rolls a number between 1 and 20 instead of the normal responses.

Enable Hologram

This toggle enables a hologram particle which shows the current response of the Magic 8 Ball at a larger size which should be much more readable than the default view window.
