Hi all!

 

     I'm playing Addams Family on 9.1.x and have run into an issue. When I spell THING and the hand comes out and grabs the ball (not when Multiball is ready) it throws the table for a loop. It tries to put the ball back down and it can't because it has lost track of it. Has anyone run into this and it there a way to fix it? Thanks for your time!

Yes I had same problem.

 

I fixed by unquoting lines  685 and 686 in the script. Should look like this.

 

 

    sw87.CreateBall

    sw87.enabled = True

Thanks for the reply! I have a dumb question for you.....which script?

Disregard my dumb question......thanks again!

On the left side in Visual Pinball there is a big button called "Script". Click on it and a new Window with the VB script which controls the table occurs. There you have to unquote the lines.

Just wanted to thank you for this. I had a 285M game going with 4 extra balls still waiting and the dang Thing ate my ball! Was unplayable with this bug, so can't thank you enough for the fix!

Odd, I wonder why those lines were commented out then.

[Tailhappy]

I wondered that too. Unfortunately since I can't hang out here, I was afraid to ask the obvious. Thought maybe it was a new way to keep the noobs out.   From a programmer standpoint I sure can't fathom why commenting those 2 lines would have made sense.

 

I had noticed maxballspeed was also commented out, although I experimented with it both ways and don't really "feel" any difference. When I can finally get the chance, was interested to see what else was commented out.

 

In the end, just really happy to have a working TAF and that trumps all else!

Thanks for this will have to check this out now.

 

It has always been a shame that every game it got stuck being it is a great recreation from Melon.

 

Thanks,
