I am pretty green to future pinball editing and a huge fan of Doctor who. but I am looking if someone would make or teach me how to make a Model of the TARDIS for Future Pinball.

In essence this is pretty easy but I'd like to :

 

- Make the thing disappear into and appear from the table (Very fast, Instantaneous if possible) even when bound to another surface

- Be about 50 by 50 and 100 mm Height.

- Be able to open and close it's doors

- Have 2 levels one at ground and one at +-50mm capable of recieving a ramp and able to destroy and create balls and kick them out in a direction

- Have a light on top.

 

I know this is a lot of work and I must say I have no idea if it is even possible to do a thing like this.

 

Any help and pointers to tutorials are appreciated.

 

Kind regards

 

Napivo

wow that's a tall order! sorry for not being of any help as I only build in vp not fp

 but the general idea would be the same I would think, I'd go with primitives if you can do them in fp

primitives are for small animated objects like drop targets and if made properly

the targets would look like they were dropping slower instead of immediately like they do now in most pins

 I know that they are being used in vp 

but I am lost when it comes to anything fp related

Well I must say.... this was actually helpful :)

 

I want back to reading the manual and discovered that when I use surfaces I can make them appear and disappear at will.
