I am curently working on two tables with drop targets and I am prettty sure you cant drop 2 targets, with one ball hit...much like you can do on a real pin. The targets do not appear to be spaced to far apart. In fact, they are exactly positioned based on the dimensions of the real table. Are there any known issues with dropping two at the same time? Or what do I need to do to be able to do this?

 

Thanks

Here is a test table where hitting multiple targets are possible.  It uses triggers to detect drop target hits (The drop target object is set to not collidable so the ball actually travels through the target and hits what ever is behind the target)

 

Blue targets are the modified targets where multiple target drops are possible.  Red targets are standard VPX drop targets which deflect the ball when hit, so multiple target hits are almost impossible

 

Real targets probably influence the ball a little bit.  In this example, the virtual drop targets have no influence, but I guess you could reduce ball speed very slightly and introduce some ball scatter if it makes sense to...

I like the trigger idea.  It works well dropping the targets but they don't reset properly.  The last target(s) hit don't reset.

I added triggers to "meteor" to test using the code below.  I'm not sure why the triggers are interfering with the reset...

Set dtDrop1 = New cvpmDropTarget
dtDrop1.InitDrop Array(sw22,sw23,sw24),Array(22,23,24)
dtDrop1.InitSnd SoundFX("DTDrop",DOFContactors),SoundFX("DTReset",DOFContactors)


Sub Trigger1_Hit
If sw22.isDropped = 0 Then dtDrop1.Hit 1: sw22.isDropped = 1
End Sub
Sub Trigger2_Hit
If sw23.isDropped = 0 Then dtDrop1.Hit 2: sw23.isDropped = 1
End Sub
Sub Trigger3_Hit
If sw24.isDropped = 0 Then dtDrop1.Hit 3: sw24.isDropped = 1
End Sub

Anyone know if this weird issue, affects standup targets too?

So can the ball hit a pair of targets and they properly register?

[BorgDog]

as far as i know only if it hits exactly between the two will both register, same as the drops.

Like this exact?
