---

This game project is a test to use PinGod without writing C# script.

The dev can assign 1-255 options to add points, play scenes and run multiballs from VP with one command from tables script.

The trough is kept intact and managed, ball saves, changing players etc.

Game.tscn

In the scene inspector you can find Vp Commands. The number is sent from VP which sends command in PinGod.

Here you would add your own to invoke from VP.

Command	Description
add_points	adds points to current player
scene	play a pre made scene
multiball	start multiball with ball count

You add these into the VP Commands of int,string (see image)

Key(int)	Value(string)
2	add_points,10000
3	add_points,1000000
5	scene,MyScene,3.5
254	multiball,3

2 add_points,10000
3 add_points,1000000 ' 
5 scene,MyScene,3.5 ' plays MyScene for 3.5 seconds
254 multiball,3 'starts a 3 ball multiball

The switch to listen for is in the inspector under Vp Command Switch Id which defaults to 24
