Would somebody have a primitive looking like this ?

 

Or tell me if there's a table using it.

It's a bracket you can make with 2 or 3 ramps, then it's easy to transform it into a 3D object.

Once you're satisfied with the result of the bracket, attach the VPX file with just the bracket,

I or someone else will transform it into a mesh for you.

Kiwi, as I was not satisfied with the ramps option, I found another solution, using two LaneGuard primitives.

 

Anyway, thanks for the help !

Hi everybody !

 

I'd like to have the translation of the text on these placards in as many different languages as possible (ARIAL Black Font).

 

And is it also possible to add all of them to the list of Options (F12).

 

But, it's not an emergency, I still have a lot of work on the table !

I'm looking for this little flipper, can somebody tell if there's a table where I can find it ?

Perhaps you can adapt the mini-flippers from Devil Riders or Farfalla:

Thanks, I use the one from Farfalla, but it's strange because I can't get the flipper to have the same angle when I open the table.

 

But anyway, it works !

I'm not sure why I should check what the rotation axis of the flipper is,

I think it's the Z-axis,

check that the Z-axis rotation of the primitive (in the primitive's properties panel) matches the RotateToStart of the flipper.

It works now, here are the right settings. Unfortunately, the table is not easier to play !  :P 

 

Anyway, thanks for the help, and also to Kiwi.

 

And happy Easter everybody, I leave home for a few days tomorrow morning.

In Farfalla, the primitive flipper doesn't have any visual correction because it's oriented exactly as it should be,

but compared to the VPX flipper, it's 180 degrees out of phase,

so you need to add 180 degrees in the rotation code of the scripts.

 

In your case, the correction to add in the properties panel should be: RotZ 68.

The table is almost finished, JPSalas did the script, physics, lights, added sounds and materials, and brought this old table back to life !  :) 

 

I still have to redraw the Backglass image and do the backdrop for Desktop users.

Thanks, I did a five years break, and I'm also very happy to see the finishing line !  :) .

 

I plan to add an option to the "F12" menu with Instruction & Score cards in different languages.

 

For that, I need some of the members to translate them in their own languages, it would be great, so, thanks in advance !

 

Instruction Card:

I don't want to pressure you to make the table look correct,

just to say that from my checks, the table dimensions are most likely 952 x 1974.

 

hexagonepf2a.jpg

 

From the flyer's playfield, the captive ball appears to be 50 vp units,

the round target is one inch,

the apron and shooter look like Gottlieb, and the same items I've made for other tables fit very well.

 

Overall, I'd say the dimensions are 20.25" x 42.00".
