New Object must mount

Hi there, I am making a plinko type game where the player, at the top of the screen can drop the ball... when the ball reaches about 2/3s down the screen I want a new ball to be created. This new ball will need to mount the player, in what ever position he is in at the top of the screen.

It is proving slightly tricky, but if I follow along the spawn lessons, It should work.


Currently I am thinking something like this.

function ballManagement::updateBallStatus(%this)
{

	%ballPosition = %this.owner.getPosition();
	
	if(%ballPosition > 105)
	%ball = new t2dStaticSprite(%this.ball);
	%ball.mount(%this.guy);
	
	
	if(%ballPosition > 170)
	%this.owner.safeDelete();

}

I have both ball and guy as behaviorfields (t2dStaticSprite)
