Automatic flippers.

[Francisco]

Hola,amigos.

I need to build an automatic  flipper for a project.

Any idea?

Muchas gracias.

I don't know.  You should probably ask the guys at Pinball Nirvana.  There aren't very many FP guys on this forum:

Muchas gracias, George anyway.

I just thought about Slamt1lt's version of the Addams Family.  During the game, Slam made the flippers actuate at a certain point in the music.  I looked at the code and found he used timers.  He added "Flipper1.SolenoidOn" to a timer and then 200 milliseconds later he had a second timer that where he added "Flipper1.SolenoidOff".  It seems to me you could use a trigger or a kicker instead of the first timer.  Something like this: 

 

Sub Kicker2_Hit()

Flipper1.SolenoidOn

flipperdown.set TRUE, 200
End Sub

 

Sub flipperdown_expired()
flipperdown.set FALSE
Flipper1.SolenoidOff
End Sub

Muchas gracias, estimado GeorgeH. 

I am going to try.

Could you tell me where is Slamt's version, please? I couldn't find it.

I have slam's ULTIMATE 1.10.  This is an earlier version where I hope it has the flippers I described:

I thought of another table that is probably a better example because the flippers actually hit the ball. Monster Bash has a feature called "Phantom" flippers that operate the main flippers automatically using triggers named "TrigPhantom1" and "TrigPhantom2".  The timer on the down flipper stroke is shorter than Slmt1lts.  It is about 85 milliseconds:

Muchas,muchas gracias George. Voy a verlas.

Muchas gracias, GeorgeH ( I know that the "H" is not for "Harrison", you told me):

You really helped me. It´s about Chicago Coin 1948 " Holiday" and if not, I was going to have to give up my project.

Now I can say that everything is well and moving forward.

Thanks a lot again.

Glad I could help.
