If you're like me, a table nudger, it didn't take long to realize that VP9 has some serious nudging going on. You nudge the table and the Ball moves, but the table stays still. The table definitely needs to move someday, but I think the nudging will stay this way, because VP9 is designed for the Pinball Wizard Control and the UltraCade machine, which has a sensor to nudge the ball further the harder you bump the table. I mean, you are not suppose to be able to nudge the ball and keep it from draining down the middle virtually every time.
This issue was big for me, I either had to find another way to do it or stick with VP8. The following is my way to nudge in VP9 for us desktop players or players without any of Folley's creations.
It's pretty simple really, I changed the angles of the bumps and the speed/strength. This demo will let you test my values and it will allow you to insert new values for the angles by pressing + or - on your keyboard to find one that you might like better. You can also press 9 to default to VP9's settings to test the difference or press 8 to go back to my settings.
I do change the speed/strength of the bump in the script also and you could change that in the script if you wish.
Anyway, give it a try. I'd still like to hear what others think of the nudging in VP9, surely I'm not the only one who likes to nudge and thinks the new setup is assbackwards....
Obviously, you use this demo with VP9.
