Need Bouncing script.
I have been trying for ages and I can't seem to get a perfect bounce. I am working on a game of snooker/pool (don't know which yet, still making one ball perfect.) and have already developed a power bar which will knock the ball acording to the power. However, I Have made (on the background) a table with a blue edge and green inside. I need it so that if I knock the ball at the edge at, lets say, 45 degrees I need it bounce off as it would in real life. All help appreciated.
Burn baby Burn!

Re: Need Bouncing script.
hey there, im working on a game of pool aswell. i started yesterday, and i am quite far in. I have all the ball on the table, they are potable, they bounce and so forth. im on a break for now. it was heavy work. anyway, if i understand you need to make the balls bounce of the edge of the table?
this is the method i used:
first, make each edge of the table a different sprite and it will make this alot easyier!
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if> < touching[sprite14] >
<point in direction( (( 180 <-> <direction> )) )
<wait( 0.3 )secsc>
in this case, sprite 14 was the top cusion on my table. you use the same script for the bottom cusion. however, the right and left cusion both need a different script, which is
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if> <touching[sprite12]>
<point in direction( (( 360 <-> <direction> )) )
<wait( 0.3 ) secsc>
i hope that came out clear...
if i didnt make it clear enough or i didnt even answer ur question message me and il try to make myself clearer 
P.S. Do Pool, its alot easyier than snooker!

Re: Need Bouncing script.
I removed all the "bump" messages, as they do nothing to speed things up—they just clutter the forum.
You can find a very useful ball script in the School Pinball game that my son and I wrote.
It is currently intended for one ball and many stationary objects to bounce off of, but could be adapted for multiple balls.

Re: Need Bouncing script.
Thanks for the script and thanks for removing bumps. In some forums they move the thread up.
Edit: Ummm, it doesn't work for top cussion, havn't tried left/right.

Re: Need Bouncing script.
I'm working on a clone of the game Inkball, and am trying to work out a script for this as well. The main problem I have is it needs to be colour based for mine. Except possibly for the edges. And my main problem is that The ball tends to get... stuck at the edges
