Yeah, still persisting, and I don't mind testing things out. I tried changing some of the code on my own to see if it fixed anything (was thinking collision issue like amd cards have with VP), but I don't know enough about coding tables yet.
In the video below , I show you how to adjust the box that grabs the BB8 head
1. I put a wire guide between the flippers so the ball won't drain
2. Run table
3.Press
menu key "Q" or "~" key
4. Go To
"Dev" options then
"Mini-playfield"
5.MP “
Idx < 27 >” . 27 is the MP that was used to grab BB8 head
6.Make sure
"Objects Position: Target" is selected
7.Expand the x-min / x-max range and see if that captures the head
8.If not then do the same with y- min/max range or z-min/max range
9.Once captured the head should jump to the ball (BB8's body)
10.Shrink the range settings to
the smallest possible range that still grabs the head
11.When done with the
cursor in the top half of menu screen, press
Control-C and BAM will save
the new MP coordinates
12.
Go To Code and do a
"Find" for "Dim BB8_Head_MP"
13. on a
new line press
Control-V and that will paste your new code, but it will be called Miniplayfield_27
14.
change the name to "BB8_Head_MP" so it looks like this:
Dim BB8_Head_MP ' Xmin Xmax Ymin Ymax Zmin Zmax CenX CenY CenZ
Set BB8_Head_MP = xBAM.CreateMiniPlayfield( bla bla bla bla bla)
15. Remark out the previous Dim and Set code lines by putting an apostrophe in front of each line
15. Save table and exit FP altogether
16. Reload FP and table
**************************
A few things to observe in the video
1. Use arrow keys to toggle between options in the menu
2. If you press and hold “Control key” while using left and right arrow keys , you can rapidly scan through the various values that you are tweaking
3. I increased “scale” value to prove to myself that I was tweaking the right object BB8 head and so I could more easily see what I was doing
4. The scale should be returned to the preferred value before saving your new code 0.320
5. Notice how BB8 head goes to top left of screen when the parameter range is too narrow
At this point he is no longer captured and the model simply returns to its origin and is useless

- sorry to be a burden. I'll try 2 in 1 installer instead maybe my FP needs updating completely too.
