Your Right Steve. weird, it did do it, now it doesn't.
Anyway, the thing is that FP does recognize these commands without errors, even if they don't work. Maybe the script is loaded in first before the exe to assign values? If so, then why does rotation work? Was it something Black had already put in to set up but forgot about it?
Here at the very least are the Surface Commands, none of these cause a script error at all, it was just trial and error with the variables.
'Stuff that FP reconizes but not doing anything
'Surface1.DisplayTopTexture=1 ' Flag to display image in editor 1=on, 0 = off
'Surface1.TopColour ="200,0,0" ' change top color. not working so far
'Surface1.TopImage="autoplunger" ' Change image, not working so far
'Surface1.SideColour="224,0,0"
'Surface1.SideImage="autoplunger"
'Surface1.HeightTop= 200 ' and HeightBottom Not Working
'Surface1.MaterialType = Metal ' Metal = 0,Wood = 1, Plastic = 2,Rubber = 3
'Surface1.Playfield=1 ' On/Off Flag for surface as a playfield
'Surface1.Reflection=0
'Surface1.HasHitEvent=TRUE
'Surface1.Transparency=1 ' 0 =off (Solid 1=transparency (set in editor)

I didn't do spheremap.  I have a mostly complete list of script commands, not hard to get. I think a lot of these are for VBScript, while FP is written in C, and it has to be "Translated" in the source code to work. Mind you, this is way above my pay level, just a guess. _________________ _____________________________________ Latest projects and rants at My Facebook Page_____________________________________ Latest Project: FPx Template Engine

Would it be possible to use the newly discovered commands to move "ornaments" for animations or effects. I recently read about Russell updating his Star Trek (STERN) table and saying that he can't have the Vengeance ship move now (he wanted new lighting effects with the newer model) because its an ornament...

The best way to find out is to try it. there appears to be a rotation command for Ornaments. Steve didn't do that one, so we don't know.

...toggling spheremap What happens Steve. I tried If (KeyCode = GetKeyCode(LeftFlipperKey)) Then LeftFlipper.SphereMapTop=true and If keycode = 44 then LeftFlipper.SphereMapTop=true:RightFlipper.SphereMapTop=true and it crashed?
