Thanks a lot Tab! you did a fantastic job on this one, and the pizza works great!!

Shoot the ramp!
Cowabunga!
Everybody out to the sewers!
Ninja..Ninja............Ninja!
Awesome!

BTW, are there more countries where the turtles were called "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles",
like here in Germany???

TAB, in the vp8 downloads area for this table, you said you didn't copy the pizza wheel code from my old old Ninja Turtles table; but clearly you did copy it. It's very easy to spot. You even used the 'fullframes' variable from my version for a line but then forgot to keep it up every two if statements afterwards as intended in the code I wrote (so you can just remove 'fullframes' from your script altogether since it does absolutely nothing); AND copied a capitalization typo in an If statements. I don't care that you copied it. As far as I remember script is fair game. Lying about copying it... well, that's your perogative.

The point I was trying to make with my comment in the vp8 download area is that I don't know why your version doesn't run smoothly when the disc starts spinning and mine does (the vp8 table); since the code is the same; other than you changed some teeny little things (pizzatimer became disctimer, and you changed the names of the dropwalls; you even used LESS frames of animation).

Example :
This whole section of code I am pasting below (from the start of the pizza wheel timer) is identical; other than a few little things. Like the name of the timer, the spinpos max count.... so why does it run slow on your version but not mine. This is confusing. I am trying to point out that since the code is the same it should pretty much work the same... but it doesn't. Perhaps you can investigate this further for people who will be playing your table.


My version :
===========
If ttMachine.Speed > 0 Then
If spinpos = 22 Then spinpos = 1 : End If
SpinnerOff = "false"
End If

If ttMachine.Speed = 0 Then
SpinnerOff = "true" : PizzaTimer.Enabled = "false"
End If

If SpinnerOff = "false" Then spinpos = spinpos + 1 : End IF

If SlowTiming = "true" Then
if ttMachine.Speed > 0 and ttMachine.Speed < 5 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 40 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 5 and ttMachine.Speed < 10 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 36 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 10 and ttMachine.Speed < 15 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 31 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 15 and ttMachine.Speed < 30 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 27 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 30 and ttMachine.Speed < 41 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 25 : End If
End If

If SlowTiming = "false" Then
if ttMachine.Speed > 0 and ttMachine.Speed < 5 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 35 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 5 and ttMachine.Speed < 10 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 30 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 10 and ttMachine.Speed < 15 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 25 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 15 and ttMachine.Speed < 30 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 20 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 30 and ttMachine.Speed < 41 then PizzaTimer.Interval = 15 : End If
End If


Your version :
==============
If ttMachine.Speed > 0 Then
If spinpos = 12 Then spinpos = 1 : End If
SpinnerOff = "false"
End If

If ttMachine.Speed = 0 Then
SpinnerOff = "true" : discTimer.Enabled = "false"
End If

If SpinnerOff = "false" Then spinpos = spinpos + 1 : End IF

If SlowTiming = "true" Then
if ttMachine.Speed > 0 and ttMachine.Speed < 5 then discTimer.Interval = 40 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 5 and ttMachine.Speed < 10 then discTimer.Interval = 36 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 10 and ttMachine.Speed < 15 then discTimer.Interval = 31 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 15 and ttMachine.Speed < 30 then discTimer.Interval = 27 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 30 and ttMachine.Speed < 41 then discTimer.Interval = 25 : End If
End If

If SlowTiming = "false" Then
if ttMachine.Speed > 0 and ttMachine.Speed < 5 then discTimer.Interval = 35 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 5 and ttMachine.Speed < 10 then discTimer.Interval = 30 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 10 and ttMachine.Speed < 15 then discTimer.Interval = 25 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 15 and ttMachine.Speed < 30 then discTimer.Interval = 20 : End If
if ttMachine.Speed > 30 and ttMachine.Speed < 41 then discTimer.Interval = 15 : End If
End If

Cyborg, I helped TAB with the table. If anyone copied that subroutine, I did.
If this was your property I greatly apologize. I didn't even think about it at time as it was a WIP.

There is no reason to call TAB a liar. The table was built from scratch by TAB and I helped with some of the scripting and little pieces here and there.

Regards,
LTA

CyBORG - you are right. We have made...
Sorry about it. But... what...should...
Excuse me

You guys "borrowed" more than just the pizza spinner code which I wouldn't mind if you would be courteous enough to throw some credit our way. I spent way too many hours writing that script and figuring out what solenoid and lamp went where and did what since we didn't have any type of schematic to guide us. I don't want to think about the number of hours cyBORG spent on the board as I know it was way too many as well.

Destruk and me has also doing spindics
Good jobs you all have done.
By the way - i have in earlier times also get 'updates' without my permission.
But be cool. We are doing the same - holding pinballs in life.
By the way Stargate has cost me 3 years ...and not happy about the the table
