This script provides an easy way to take manual control of a ball using the arrow keys. Ball control for testing or table demonstrations is an often requested feature. This simple script should meet most of the needs for those requesting this functionality. Suggestions or additions to this script are welcome!

Hey roth, pretty cool stuff should come in handy. I did run into one small issue however in that you are defining and using variables left and right those are however standard functions for text parsing that I happen to use in my high score routine (stolen from mfuegemann I believe) I changed all the variables in your script to Cup, Cdown, Cleft, Cright to be consistent and get around that issue.
Thanks for this.

Good call out. I’ll update the script and demo to use less generic names.

Demo table updated with less generic names. Also fixed the sub name for the stopcontrol trigger.
BTW, @randr told me there was something wrong with me.
Apparently, according to randr, normal people don’t do things like this. And my wife agrees with him. 
Maybe it’s true. But I can’t change who I am.

This is one seriously bad-ass development tool Roth. Excellent work and thanks. I am certain all of the authors will be leveraging this when making their tables.
Do you feel that this would be more useful that the kicker tool you recently made? Is there a need to have to kick the ball with force to accomplish a task? I cant really think of one.

This tool is exactly what every table author needs!!
I spent 4 hours trying to see if a light or trigger on ramp is activating correctly, by playing the table and trying to hit the pinball exactly where it needs to go. Yes walls can help in some instances, but not for all instances.
This is really great!!!
Thank you Sir!!

I think this replaces the test kicker in most instances. I can think of a few very rare instances where you might want to use a test kicker instead.

So a question for the Manual ball MOD. You might recall that when I releasedd a few of my recent tables with the kicker MOD added. Some guys ran into issues with their mapped button clashing with the MOD itself.
So once the manual ball MOD is added. What is the best way to deactivate it prior to release. Would it be possible to script in an intuitive on/off “switch” rather than possibly commenting out a bunch of lines assuming thats what it might take.
Also, might there be a way to wrap the mod up in some kind of package that once its activated, it can automatically install into any SS table script. I know this might be pie in the sky due to the variances in ways the authors do their scripting. But if the package could search on keywords and add in text, that would make it even better for existing tables.

I believe Toxie is going to look at adding this script into the VP build.
The easiest way to deactivate is to comment out the lines in the keyup and keydown sub. And yes, you could add a simple option variable to turn it on and off.
Dim enableBallControl
enableBallControl = 1 ‘1 for on, 0 for off
Then surround the code in the keyup and keydown sub with:
if enableBallControl then
‘ code in key up sub
end if
if enableBallControl then
‘ code in keydown sub
end if

@rothbauerw: as it seems to be okay with you, yes, i would add this then to the default table.. :)

As someone who has been spoiled by Future Pinball’s “Ball Roller”, having this added into VP will be very good news. It would make it MUCH easier to add DOF or addressable leds to a table…. at least for guys like me who are crappy at pinball. ;)

Just read about this tool today… I think this will be really useful for creating ROM dumps to colourize games.
