Hi Folks

 

I am reasonably competent using the B2S designer. I am able to use the stock signals from SI and Lamps. What I am seeking is to receive signals from switches to the BG for additional options to trigger animations :think:  :think:  :think: .

 

For example, with this BG I would like the Saucer movement on the table to trigger the animated photon and laser battle that I have animated.

Trigger calls should be placed in the table scripts,

for example, as is done in the electromechanical or original tables. 

 

Example to turn on the bulb 10 of the backglass via the trigger 1 of the table

 

Sub Trigger1_Hit
If B2SOn Then
Controller.B2SSetData 10, 1
End If
End Sub

Just add your b2s command in the same sub where the saucer is hit.

 

Saucer1_Hit

Do normal stuff

run animation

 

End Sub
