Change VMpro wave files using $CP0 2

[snowman50]

Hi Guys

Ok I will tell you what I am trying to achive.

I am installing an ipo for a Golf Club using VmPro.
they want the ability to apply different wav files relating to the weather conditions for the Day.

So when a member dials in they hear an option to hear the latest weather conditions for the Greens.
eg: option 1 weather conditions for the day.

the wav file played will tell the caller if the Green is open and the condition of the greens.
there will be at least 5 different messages depending on the weather conditions.

Now the Grounds man will need a simple way to select the pre recorded wave file relating to the weather condition .

Now I have achived this Manually and it works.

what I have done is set up a module "SetWeather" to allow the Grounds man to choose the option that relates to the weather condition

start- Menu
1-setuserVariable- variable Weather- Action 1 Plays $Key So as it plays the option selected (this works)
2 setuserVariable- variable Weather- Action 2 Plays $Key So as it plays the option selected
3 setuserVariable- variable Weather- Action 3 Plays $Key So as it plays the option selected
4 setuserVariable- variable Weather- Action 4 Plays $Key So as it plays the option selected
5 setuserVariable- variable Weather- Action 5 Plays $Key So as it plays the option selected

Now the module that plays the wave file PlayWeather

Start--Test user variable--weather Action 1-- True -Generic Weather$KEY.wav
False -Test user variable--weather Action 2

Test user variable--weather Action 2-- True -Generic Weather$KEY.wav
False -Test user variable--weather Action 3
Test user variable--weather Action 3-- True -Generic Weather$KEY.wav
False -Test user variable--weather Action 4
Test user variable--weather Action 4-- True -Generic Weather$KEY.wav
False -Test user variable--weather Action 5
Test user variable--weather Action 5-- True -Generic Weather$KEY.wav

The 5 files have been recorded and Named Weather1, Weather2,Weather3,Weather4,Weather5


now the Call flow Menu options
press 1 -"PlayWeather Module" this is the weather module above.
Press 2 pro shop
Press 3 office
press 4 restaurant
press 5 Bar

Ok so now what I am after is a simple method using $keys $CP0 combinations..
I have read a lot about this and I can get the SetWeather to work using $key to play back the input

The Problem is getting the PlayWeather to play
What I cant get to work is using the $CPO to play the weather in the module

the information being sent to $CP0 is not transferring over to The next module.
I can see the Variable and its contents
I have read Bas1234 module on some thing simpler but its playing the wav file in the module I am having the problem.

I have used $KEY:$CP0 $CP0:REG(Weather uservariable) etc.
I Have used $Key or $CP0 to play back the input but don't get any thing .

Can any one help Me
I have searched the Tektips and got a lot of info.
But I still cant get it to work using the Flexible Variables

as you can see the Manual version works but I have to keep increasing the options in Set Weather and Play Weather if I want to add more wav files..

Thanks in advanced

Yes! I did this for a company that wanted to switch greetings based upon Daylight Savings without needing Module monstrosities!

Example:
GrtgDST: Hello, you have reached ABC Company. Our hours are 8am to 5pm Pacific Time
GrtgMST: Hello, you have reached ABC Company. Our hours are 7am to 4pm Pacific Time

Notice the greeting name has either MST or DST.

In VMPro, I created a userVariable called: TimeSet and then gave them a short code to change the value of that variable to either "MST" or "DST".


Modules:

CustomerChangeDST (*8990) Pin:<redacted>
- Option 1 - set to MSTEnabled (change user variable TimeSet to MST) -MountainStandardTime
- Option 2 - set to PSTEnabled (change user variable TimeSet to PST) -PacificStandardTime

After Option pressed, play recording: DSTEnabled$KEY.wav
Example:
"Mountain Standard Time Menus are now active" wav: DSTEnabled1.wav
"Pacific Standard Time Menus are now active" wav: DSTEnabled2.wav

Then I incorporated that variable in the greeting that is played in the Menu: MainGreeting$Reg[TimeSet].wav

Your requirement is to create two recordings: MainGreetingMST.wav and MainGreetingPST.wav

Use this example to create what your customer is requesting.

Hope this helps!!

For your example, store $KEY to the user variable - so, they press 1, and the value "1" will be store in the user variable "Weather"

In your Menu for Weather Conditions, play "GenericWeather$Reg[Weather].wav" - the proper recording will play based upon the selection made b the Pro Shop in the selection menu.

No need for IF statements.. Variables, they're our friends..

Thanks for that fast response..

I was hoping someone would understand that.

I will give that ago..

I'm away for the weekend so won't be able to try this out until next week.

Star for the detailed answer.

You could use a user variable that you simply set to 1 to 5 and that will then play the message according to the number chosen.
Even 2 user variables, 1 for Green open or closed and the other for the grounds condition.
I like user variables because you can easily read the value out with the vmpro client and even adjust that way.

hi DBrewsky.

I have eventually been able to get this to work using your advice .
It was the $REG[weather] variable that I had to use in most of the wav files.

Once I started to amend them they played back the correct greetings and I was then able to slot the play weather module into my menu..

The $cpO contents didn't seem to transfer over into the module.

Once I understood the concept I was able to play confirmation messages to the grounds man on which option was already in use.

Learnt a lot in just getting this to work and breaking it

Thanks for the help.
