Thank you.

I've been playing this for a few days, and I've noticed the top kickout hole isn't scoring correctly. When "T" and "R" are lit at the upper lanes, if I score the hole when the "R" is lit, it shuts off the "R" at the hole, but it shuts off the "T" lane, and scores me the "T" letter. I haven't played it well enough to find out what happens when the two top lanes are lit and I score the top hole when the "T" is lit.

It says Making TREK Center Target Score 10,000 Points.

I am guessing when you hit center hole, it resets lights, whether you have spelled TREK or not.
Here is what the scorecard says...

I am aware of what the instruction card says, but that's has nothing to do with the issue, so let me rephrase the issue. At the start of any ball, the top hole starts off with the "R" light lit and the "R" and "T" lanes lit. If I land in that top hole, with the lit "R", what happens is the "R" light at the hole goes out, but the "T" in the lane goes out, and it scores me the "T" letter. You would think that if I landed in that top hole with the "R" light lit, it would shut off the "R" lane, and score me the "R" letter, but it doesn't. That said, scoring the "R" or "T" through the rollover lanes will score me the correct letter. It's the letter scoring at the top hole that is the issue.

Yes, there is an error in the script 

 

You have to move the "Addbonus" after the If..Then... instructions as below

Dear Claude,

 

thank you for this fresh new version of this excellent table. There is one flaw, the BG switches off not the SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN indicator light. A problem I saw in few tables, 100% correctly coded in line 910 - 912, but this simple patch helps:

 

go to line 1505 (GameTime_Timer()) and add below:

 

if LightShootAgain.State = 0 then

If B2SOn then

Controller.B2SSetShootAgain 0

End If

end if

if LightShootAgain.State = 1 then

If B2SOn then

Controller.B2SSetShootAgain 1

End If

end if

 

then continue with was before in line 1506.

 

Again thank you for your work, sincerely, Christian.
