Seriously, I try to make a loop because I am really obsessed wit grab a sponge to get the car going,h making cars. I've made cars with in/out movers on controllinators, I've made cars where you only need to get the car going and I've made battle cars, I need all these cars to go up on the loop, I've got the logic ready and everything but I just can't ride up to the player sensor at the very top. I think its the way I make the ramps. I just get a triangle, get a smaller semi-circle and delete some parts on the triangle. I making a stage with a jet ski, it's just a grab-and-go vehicle.

Could you post a picture? The loops I've seen in levels don't bother with layer switching and instead change the entry ramp to a leaving ramp within the same layer. Basically you have a floating partial circle above your track with a seperate ramp connecting the left part of the track with the right part of the loop allowing the car to enter. Once the car reaches the top a trigger usually makes the ramp either move or disappear so that a new one replaces it in which the left part of the loop joins with the right section of track making an exit ramp. hopefully I've explained that well enough. If you have enough momentum entering you should have no problem making it around - although the jet ski thing is a concern, does it have wheels? If not then due to the friction you'll have a hard time making it around the loop. You could also tinker with gravity so that the vehicle is unaffected by gravity when it enters the loop and turn it back on when exiting.

Nope the jet ski doesn't. To put it simply, its just a right-angle triangle with a thruster and something to grab to get it going. I might change the stage abit and change it to something with wheels. Do you think that maybe i should do a vehicle which allows you to go upside down because the wheels are bigger than the base? Would that work, and also, i think its the ways i make the ramps that let you go into the top bit. (Sorry for my horrible use of imagination).
