I need to apologize someone came by and picked up the box and I had the PinRack newly saved in the box and something told me to examine it again and good thing I looked there was a reset pin button accidentally saved with the PinRack so warning to whoever got the Reset button that is still a work in progress and sorry about that lol

thankyou system was easy to convert to ubode.
i did end up trying to add the pins with a auto physics break for safety and resource management and a auto rebuild but im running in to some issues. not sure if this is limited to opensimulator. but it seems the if the ball hits the pin it wil only activate physics for some reason a second hit is needed to make the pin fall over now. have do u have any what i can do to fix this ideas?

I love that you modified the scripts to also work with Ubode thank you!! I am having issue rezzing a grouped set of pins, because they are physical and not linked, so lots of goofy stuff going on a linked set non physical rezzing is no issue. That is what I have loved the most about this is learning the quirkiness makes some things so odd. When I first rezzed and tried the ball it shot off to the left not down the alley and it was going seriously 200 mph it would have been terrible if someone had been standing there, it would have been like cannon ball lol!

this is what i was toying around with in the pins yesterday but it needs work. it was just for testing. maybe it fix your issues but it will add some new issues. some re-work is needed by a 3th party with more skill and and experience then me.

i was thinking about some type of connection between the ball and the pins over a network channel. that if the user touches the ball. the pins need to activate physics. and ones the ball returns pins rebuild and deactivate physics.
but this also means there needs to be a delay to make sure the server geds the time to activate the physics on the pins.
this small timer on the ball throw activation can also be used to add a throw meter. one that builds up more charge to throw the ball harder or softer with a few presets throw speeds hard coded inside the script of the ball.

Thank you for your input — I really appreciate your interest in improving the system. While my current setup may seem more like early SL in its simplicity, it's intentionally designed that way to ensure reliability, physics realism, and ease of use in OpenSim where Bullet physics can be finicky. That said, I totally agree there's always room for improvement, and exploring how it could work with UbODE is definitely something worth considering. I'm always open to thoughtful evolution as long as the core experience remains stable and fun for everyone!

I just added a ball with more thrust/push to help knock pins down. I am still perfecting and will have updated version soon. Update** I added a better PinRack to the box, just set it out to bowl. ** Update I added a "Clear Pins" so that after your strike you can simply touch and all pins will be cleared from the lane. I am working to automate setting the pins, so that guests can just set the pins but it is proving to be a challenge for the rezzing the set but as soon as I get that done will update the box. As it is now you will need to rez the PinRack manually. I am not as great a coder as Ferd he would have had this done by now but since he is my mentor I am giving it my best go. Hey Ferd! Cleanup on aisle 2~ 💗
