    I've never seen a good Pinball map before.

    I want to make one, but I don't have enough time or ability.

    You could put people with Gravity hammers or Golf clubs spawn in a little place (Angled so the gold ball rolls down it into the reset area.) and can see out slots, but cant jump out.

    The entire map would be at like, a 45 degree angle so that the ball always continues rolling down, but can be hit back up.

    For the ball to reset you could make it roll into a tin cup, which will put it into a grav lift. The grav lift shoots it into the place where you make it go back up, which is automated by Mancannons.

    This is just an idea, but I would really love to see someone make it. It would be alot of fun.

    I'm going to assume you read my post over at Artificer, my idea was this:

    Create a table on an angle with two flippers (Columns) with shield doors interlocked inside of them. I figured it would be way too hard make actual flippers capable of hitting and reseting, and if you used the grav hammer method, you wouldn't be able to see the whole table.

    Shoot from Scorpion on an elevated platform or something. But it might fly out, so you would have to put the Scorpion a bit lower than the table and shoot at an angle.

    Or just use your hammer method and have another person spot for you.

    Maybe you can get some ideas from Slit Pinball 2. (I think that's the right name.) It's on Avalanche and I believe it's in the minigames section. But it plays pretty differently from normal pinball.

    I don't have an idea to make the swinging arm bat thingys, but you could give the player a BR or something and use fusion coils as the thingys and the beginning launch mechanism. For bumpers, just use shield doors (extremely obvious). I don't know how you could do points. For game over you could make the ball set something off which would somehow kill you to end the game.
