Re: roVideoScreen - Code need some help please look ?

While it's possible to study a piece of code and determine what's wrong with it, it would be a lot easier if you posted more information, like exactly in what way it is not working (compile error, runtime error, misbehavior, ...?), what messages you see on the debugger if it does run, and what you've done so far to try to debug it.

Sorry ... ok ... it doesn't seem like the m.cost value is being passed to the off statement:

while true
msg = wait(100, port)

if m.cost = 25 then
funds = tokenValidation()
if funds = 1 then
exit while
else
chargeCustomer()
end if
end if

Well, I don't see anywhere in the code you posted where you are setting m.cost. Are you setting it somewhere else?

If you suspect that's the problem, you could add a print statement to confirm the value of m.cost before you use it.

do I just do:

print m.cost

Re: roVideoScreen - Code need some help please look ?

using print "cost "; m.cost

I get the following debug message: cost invalid


but when I set them in showFeed.brs

item.cost = strtoi(item.cost)
item.modelId = strtoi(item.modelId)

m.cost = item.cost
m.model = item.modelId

print "cost "; m.cost
print "model "; m.model

the debug shows the correct values:

cost 25
model 22
