the “C” is is scripted to enable and disable the manual ball control
you can use your arrow keys to move the ball after pressing “C”
many of the VPX keys are hard coded.
it is best if you use the default VPX keys, or you will find problems like this when you star to map custom keys.
if you wan’t to keep your “C” key mapping you are going to have to go into the table and remove
the script that enables and disables the manual ball control.
32a is of course right. I too urge you to change your left and right flipper keys to the default left and right shift. Fiddling with default keys will, even if the intentions has always been that you can map these keys to your own preferred ones often lead you down the rabbit hole in the long run. I’m pretty sure that 32a is correct about the issue being tables that has the Rothbauerw’ script for ball control being active too. Several ways to disable this. Search the script for “Manual Ball Control”. Comment out all that code. If you’re not sure what I mean by that. Then you should be able to search for just one line ‘contballinplay = true’ and change that to ‘contballinplay = false’. OR, delete the element on the table that is actually making this routine come to live in the first place. It is probably called “StartBallControl”.
Again, best solution, don’t change the default keys.
That’s got to be it. Unfortunately I’ve mapped that button across multiple emulators. I’ve only had this issue in a few tables so far. I’ll have to decide if it’s worth remapping across my other emulators or just commenting out the code…
Thanks for both your help!
