No problem. You can use my variant as well if you'd like.

It under this thread on the Shiva forum under Pinball/Requests

"Looking for a Shiny and non Shiny Black Pinball (Cannonball)"

Here's part of that thread

The image property is what chooses a variant pinball image so if you are creating a ball from the plunger then use

Plunger.CreateBall.image = "PinballImageNameHere"

for a custom ball.


Or use

Plunger.CreateBall

for the standard ball.

The Activeball works the same way if you want to change it on the fly.





So you could have a switch that uses one line or the other in script with a simple If then block.

If iUseCustomBall = 1 Then
Plunger.CreateBall.image = "PinballImageNameHere"
Else
Plunger.CreateBall
End If

That thread has a link to my images for both an alternate pinball and a darker "cannon" type pinball.

Hope that helps!
