Hello

 

and thank you for this recreation! I have now started to tune the game for the use in my cab. Now comes the question: I found it is impossible to earn an ace. The reason seems to be the script for the drop targets, this is:

 

 'Drop Targets

 Sub Target1_dropped:dtT.Hit 1 :End Sub

 Sub Target2_dropped:dtT.Hit 2 :End Sub

 Sub Target3_dropped:dtT.Hit 3 :End Sub (this is the target for earning an ace)

 Sub Target4_dropped:dtT.Hit 4 :End Sub

 Sub Target5_dropped:dtT.Hit 5 :End Sub

 

But e.g. "dtT.Hit 3" triggers no further action in the script.

 

I think it is needed to trigger a "controller.switch(XX)", but I don't know how I have to formulate this with a falling drop target and I don't know the controller address for the ace. Further the other drop targets have no counting function either.

 

I hope a more skilled than me member of the community can give support.

 

Thanks in advance, Christian.

 

P.S.: I checked the VP9.x version of the game, the script area is 100% the same.

The "switches" (they are solenoids on this table) are defined in this array in line 125.

dtT.InitDrop Array(Target1,Target2,Target3,Target4,Target5),Array(28,29,30,31,32)

The dtt.hit command activates the entries in the array.

 

 

I played around the table in debug mode, controlled the ball with the mouse and i was able to score the Aces without any problem. (VPX10.8.0 rev 1922).

Requires 10.6.

 

Which version are you using?

[Mustang1961]

Hi hmueck,

 

thank you for your kind reply. I am using 10.6 rev final 3788. 

 

All the best!

[hmueck]

I tried the table with the same rev. Using debug mode i had no trouble activating the aces. Sorry, I can't reproduce your problem.

Hi hmueck,

 

you are right, the table works as it should. Thank you for your PM and special support in debugging tools.

 

Greeting, Christian.
