Hi guys.

 

Time to start Getaway High Speed II [WIP] topic.

 

What can i say, 32assassin sent me stripped table and i've started on everything at once, so here is the actual progress:

 

 

 

Like you see, there is a lot of work left, i can't do it by myself since i have no 3d skills at all.

 

There is few more plastics to redraw and little more work with playfield but the most important is Supercharger ramp and diverter ramp.

 

Supercharger and lights post primitives are stolen from FP table

 

Idk when i finish this one, maybe never but more likely not soon.

 

Stay tuned.

Sweeeeeet! Looking great already!

[Rotrax]

oh, such a fun table (both of them) keep up the great work!

[laylow]

Waited a long time for that  one, awesome! 

[bolt]

Looks great.

THANK YOU! Been waiting for this table, has a nice gameplay, active table. It's looking great man!

[TNT2]

Awesome!

[Ben Logan]

Love your work, ganja.

[Rajo Joey]

Looks great.

[chokeee]

Love it!

[diemonik]

wow , looks really nice

[sifusun]

THX for your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guus]

Great !! Looks VERY promising, this is a great table.

Thanks guys, i'm glad you like it but i don't belive you, it looks like shit, you have to admit

 

Table is fully playable but there is a lot of work with supercharger ramps and diverters. Plastics almost finished.

 

Damn primitives, 32assassin was right about it and i was aware but now i understand

Fantastic

I figured out ramp diverter with primitive. Now i need supercharger diverter primitive and help with code for that diverter.

 

Actual code is like:

 

SolCallback(10) = "vpmSolDiverter Diverter,""MetalHit"",Not"

 

And that's it, but i want this in subroutine, how to deal with it? I want to get rid of diverter and use primitive and walls. How this sub should look?

[nFozzy]

That's referring to a sub in core.vbs

 

' ------ Diverters ------
Sub vpmSolDiverter(aDiv, aSound, aEnabled)
    If aEnabled Then aDiv.RotateToEnd : Else aDiv.RotateToStart
    vpmPlaySound aEnabled, aSound
End sub

 

 

SolCallBacks will execute a string as script, and then send True or False (or 0-255 for solmodcallback). So in that case there's multiple arguments in string form, and the goofy trailing 'not' on the end is inverting the solenoid callback so that the sub rotates the flipper the right way.

Thanks nFozzy.

 

Btw. here is very little progress on everything and nothing at once

You need to specify your own sub like Solcallback(10)  = "Supercharger"

 

As an example:

 

Sub Supercharger(enabled)

If enabled Then

Diverter.isdropped = 0 <WALL

Diverter_Prim.objrotz = 0 < PRIMITIVE

else

Diverter.isdropped = 1 <WALL

Diverter_Prim.objrotz = -30 < PRIMITIVE

End If

End Sub

Also as a side note - the getaway 2 has two solenoids for the supercharger diverter (Solenoid 1 and Solenoid 10)

 

On the real game solenoid 1 is the high power solenoid which pulls in the diverter and then solenoid 10 holds it (low power)

 

In VP you only need to use Solenoid 10 but I thought I'd mention this if you come across references to solenoid 1 in the manual.
