Pinball switches - cabinet and playfield switches. Open/closed or hit/unhit

2) Just test and choose the value that seems best to you. Gottlien have the most sensitive DT, then Williams and then Bally.

Do you have a value for Williams?

No.

@GeorgeH
Assuming the real DT is DT_1 and the fake (invisible) is DT1.
1) Initialisation: DT1.Collidable = True: DT_1.SolenoidOn
2)
Sub DT1_Hit()
If fpTilted = True Or xBAM.Ball.HitSpeed < xxx Then Exit Sub (you must have enough speed)
(FizX handle rebound on the fake DT)
DT1.Collidable = False: DT_1.SolenoidOff: DT1.PopDown
...
End Sub

For anyone else that wants to use this code, there is one small change needed. See the underscore in red:

Sub DT1_Hit()
If fpTilted = True Or xBAM.Ball.HitSpeed < xxx Then Exit Sub (you must have enough speed)
(FizX handle rebound on the fake DT)
DT1.Collidable = False: DT_1.SolenoidOff: DT_1.PopDown
...

Also an xxx value of 100 or 150 seems to work but you may want to make some adjustments because JP says that Gottlieb has the most sensitive DT, then Williams and then Bally. Also, you don't need to rename the existing drop target but the fake drop target wall must be named DT1. DT2, DT3...
