So I take it several of you guys have played, and maybe even beaten the Addams Family pinball game.

 

I'm working on a Halloween themed table, within it there is a mode called ghost hour. What I would really love to do is to apply random course changes to the balls. Just like the magnets in the Addams Family game mentioned above.

 

I know about nudge, but that shakes the picture a bit too much. Is there any other way to do this via VBS?

 

Thanks in advance.

look at the zombie ball in dracula and how it works...

[Johan Brodd]

Sure thing. Provide a link and I'll look into it.

So I tried that download link provided.
 

Sorry we couldn't find that!

Link works for me.  Yes, you can manually control ball position or ball velocity

 

Example to move the ball around x,y,z co-ordinates.

kicker1_hit()

  Set theball = activeball

end sub

 

sub example1_timer()

  theball.x = theball.x + 10

  theball.y = theball.y + 10

  theball.z = 0

end sub

 

or modify the ball velocity in x,y,z direction

 

trigger1_hit()

  Set theball2 = activeball

end sub

 

sub example2_timer()

  theball2.velx = theball2.velx * 1.1

  theball2.vely = theball2.vely * 0.5

  theball2.velz = 0

end sub

Strange. Well I have to look it up then.
