What Happened.:
Linked to age “MagicBall”
There was the floating ball as expected clicked my click object and the ball dropped and embedded in the floor. Linked back to relto and returned to age “MagicBall” the ball was floating again and the click performed the action where it embedded in the floor.
Feedback:
Unexpected but satisfactory result.
I was expecting the Ball to possibly disappear but I at least have a new action to play with.
[edit]
On Node Panel I Changed "Enable/Disable" Cmd: to Disable
This time my Ball disappeared.
Relto and return takes a long time to get back to the MagicBall age but it resets. However using the Plasma Console just to "net.linktoage magicball" after the click relinks quickly and resets the ball.
Experimentation continues I will now add a second click object and try and make my MagicBall Toggle Appear/Disappear
