I got a couple of rooms in my new level that have rolling ball traps. Each trap has the balls concealed in the cealing at the top of the slope, but when they are triggered they do not fall or any thing... Any one got any idea's? I got a trap with a ball that drops straight down and that works fine...

And is there a way to make mummies play dead? (like skeletons, you just put 3 in OCB and they lay on the floor until triggered. I tried this and it didn't work.) any one know?

ROTFLMAO, the title of your thread sounds SOOOO funny

But about your ball problem, the only problem I could think of is that your rollingballs are extracted from another TR and don't work.

And the ocb for the mummy is 2.

Just wait till you get older, they'll drop on their own... you can't make lara trigger them to drop (i couldn't resist)
Did you select one ball, place the trigger, select the second ball, place the trigger, and so on?
Is the opening wide enough for them?

When you conceal the balls, do you use 'toggle opacity 2'? Don't know if they will drop with 'toggle opacity 1'.

If there was a competition for the best title, you'd be definately the winner!

hi- that title is a classicic-
have you considered ... *stand-up*?

recently, my wife & i were waiting for
the stageshow "Anything Goes" to start up;
near the orchestra pit & they were tuning up.

when one of the musicians announced...
" i better lower my G string". before i could
stop her, she learned towards him & said
"I'd Pay to see That..."

the first 2 rows started laughing---i had to slap her;
i was in tears/Oh behave ! - heh hee

Gad - don't i hope you Can get your balls to drop !

(the rest of us are trying to keep them up.)
thanks for being of such good humor;
hope you find a solution.

oh that's rich! *wipes away tear*

Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget it's painful past...
Though we hope for promising years, after shedding a thousand tears, yesterday's sorrow constantly nears.
And while the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn scarlet hue.

Have you triggered the ball from a room which has been flipped without putting the trigger in the flipped room? That's happened to me before.

You mean you can't load the project anymore? You could try TRFix, it might make it loadable again.
