    I would have the actor with a circle collision shape, and high restitution so the ball bounces off it alot. Then have any effects as animations and trigger them when the bumber collides with the ball

    Yeah, but the problem is that if you come slow with the ball, the effect is not a fast rebound...

    I would like to make it with any speed ball coming on the bumper...

    Have a rule when ball overlaps with bumber change attribute motion linear x to whatever. That will change the speed of the bounce to whatever you want no matter how hard or soft the bumber gets it.

    That worked thanks ;)

    Now the problem is that the ball bounce is always in the same way...

    Try doing the same rule for the y :)

    To make the pinball pop bumpers I used in Stunt Squirrels, simply increase the size of the bumper by about 20 pixels when an Actor collides with it.

    Then use a timer in the bumper to reset its size after 0.2 seconds or so...

    The physics engine will automatically handle it for you.
