Autogenerated Tag Syntax Documentation:

Apply the requested mover from a list of them

<SwitchMover name="(&string;)" movers="(&string;)" selected="(&string;)" />

movers: (REQUIRED) The movers tag takes a comma separated list of mover names
selected: (REQUIRED) Tag of the expected Mover to execute

This mover allows the option of choose between several different movers provided to it.

In combination with -parser:script_vars, it basically allows a single script to have different behaviours depending on the selected mover to run. Thus, something such as: (assuming that minimize, minimize_pack and fastdesign are the names of three already declared movers)

<SwitchMover name="switch" movers="minimize,minimize_pack,fastdesign" selected="%%protocol%%" />

Will allow to call to one or another depending on the circumstance from outside the script.
The extra value is that the name of the selected mover is added as a score to the score/silent file. That score's name will be the name of the mover. Thus, in the previous case, we could get a new score named switch with a value equal to the name of the %%protocol%% requested
