    Giving us a ball, but not letting the AI play football to the death is just plain evil.
    Please fix this madness!

    Uh? Weird! I haven't tried yet because I though the AI was able to chase it. It won't surprise me if we get like a "Football" scenario. I'm sure Modders are already working that though :p

    Sir FailRace comments!

    Football scenario, eh? Wonder how that could work, considering how hard it could be to make the AI calculate trajectories properly. Maybe we could have a thingy where the player has to get a single goal, while, along with the ball, being constantly attacked by angry opponents? Something like that could be pretty fun! :D
    Hehe, I've earned a fancy title, it seems! :p

    We hear you :p
    It's not something we chose to do, it just happen to be that way. By default only things with wheels can be selected as targets for performance reasons.
    We are looking into overrides for this behavior.

    Would it work if setting one beam and node inside the ball that would be tagged as a wheel? Okay, I get my coat now :p
