Hot Shots

[Shannon]

I am working on a complete rebuild of Rascal’s HOT Shots table. Thank you to everyone who built the original table and I hope I can do it justice. I will probably need help at some point because I really am just learning, but watching all of the members here has really got me motivated to try and contribute. I am trying to work on the ramps right now using Flupper’s tutorial. When I get stuck I know that there are people here to help, and for anyone who post criticism without ever contributing should really try to work on a table. It’s hard and time consuming work that these guys do for the love of the hobby.
-Does anyone know what is supposed to be written on the yellow light in the left out lane b/c I couldn’t find any clear pics.

Thanks. As you can see there is still a lot of work to do on it. Once I get it to a certain point, I’m hoping I can get some volunteers to help me tweak/test it.

Hello,

I hate to ask, but I can not get the damn primitive flippers to work that I imported(Thanks to Borgdog for all of his great primitives). I am no coder and have followed the instructions in various post with no luck.  Below you will see the script from Rascal’s Hot Shots that he converted from Destruct and various other authors VP9 table(Thank you).  You will see at the bottom where I have added the primitive part of the script and I also added the timer to the table labeled correctly.  Also, I added primitive targets to the table in place of the walls that were used, but I do not understand where to put those in the script.  Sorry for asking, but I am at a loss.

I did. Sorry to post the script that way. Is there a better way to post it for you to examine?

I do not see many other scripts with flippers written in the script like below and wasn’t sure if this could be the problem.

If KeyCode=LeftFlipperKey Then Controller.Switch(72)=1 If KeyCode=RightFlipperKey Then Controller.Switch(73)=1 If KeyCode=PlungerKey Then Plunger.Pullback If vpmKeyDown(KeyCode) Then Exit Sub End Sub Sub Table1_KeyUp(ByVal keycode) If KeyCode=LeftFlipperKey Then Controller.Switch(72)=0 If KeyCode=RightFlipperKey Then Controller.Switch(73)=0

If the flippers are not working with primitives then it’s either names of the actual flippers or timer. Send me the table in a pm I can look quick

I wanted to post a wip. It still has a long way to go, but it is coming along.  Randr has been nice enough to do a ton of work, so this is as much his project as mine.  It wouldn’t look near as good as it does without his help…so much appreciated!

I wanted to tell everyone that I am constantly blown away by this hobby and the people who help here at this site. When I started working on this table, it was basic at best. I asked for help and our host Randr was gracious enough throw in with me. Now when I say help, you guys must understand that I am a noob at this stuff, but enjoy it immensely. Randr has contributed more than I ever could to this table, so it is as much his as it is mine. His work is amazing and we are getting closer to a release. I wanted to post some more screenshots so everyone could enjoy!

Its a neat table NOT a williams but you did such a good job on redraw i figured why not try to make it a release that at least tried to keep up with the type of tables we see released today and i think it will be a keeper for everyone…i hope.

 

Here is latest screenshot(wip30) not done but slowly getting there. I need to find more @borgdog tables to steel stuff from :)
