Exit button

[neohusky]

Hi

I'm just trying out PinballX for the first time and I'm very impressed so far.

I designed my cab with minimal buttons. Start, Exit and Launch Ball. With Hyperpin my exit button performed 2 functions in game:

1. Short Press would bring up the Pause/information menu with instructions,flyer, exit etc etc

2. Long Press would force exit the table with a countdown 3..2.1

This was ideal in that it kept the number of buttons to a minimum. It also prevented the accidental exiting from a table with the momentary push of the exit button.

Have i missed something in the setup? Is this something that can be done?

I have the same button arrangement (with the addition of a coin button), but my "Exit" button functions more as an "Exit menu" button: in PinballX, I have it set to bring up the menu with options to Exit or Shut Down, and in-game, I have it set to bring up the menu with options to either exit back to PinballX or return to the table. It seems like maybe there's a third option to both of those menus, but I can't think of what they would be, and I'm currently at work and can't refresh my memory. Anyway, those are two separate settings in the button config section of the PinballX setup, and I simply have them both assigned to the same key, which works fine because one applies only to in-game usage and the other only to out-of-game usage. Hope that makes sense. I know it's different than what you were doing in Hyperpin, but I think if you try it, you might find that it works well for you.

I don't know if you are using an ipac or not. If you are, then you can use start as a shift key and then your exit and launch can have shifted keys assigned to them

You can do this by setting the "Exit" button and "Pause" button to the same button. I have it mapped to E

That would do the trick.Thanks guys.
