Talk to only one Hooper

Post by ATiK »

what way to talk a only hooper and say that: "you must pay only one, two or three money".

I can use function PayOut() but I need a way to say Hooper.X pay only one money, Hooper.Y pay only three money, etc. Occur any way to make this.

you can understand me??

Once you've issued a PayOut() command, that will run until either all relevant hoppers are empty or until the amount you asked for has been paid out.

So far as controlling the hoppers individualy is concerned, you can inhibit all except the hopper you wish to use and then issue the PayOut(), which will only use that hopper.

(If you wish to pay out a count of coins, rather than an amount, you can ignore the value that is <I>supposed</I> to be in the hopper and just multiply the count by the value given to the hopper by Paylink.)

Sorry - Paylink is our internal name for the unit (software & hardware).

What I'm trying to say is that the system gives a value to the coins in a hopper based on their cctalk address. If you wish to pay out a count of coins, you can just multiply the count by the value associated with the hopper.
