I'll take a look at the rss script although I don't think it should have made a difference.
Thank you Rich for looking @ this. Steve S
Edit...
It's the
which is causing the problems. "yes" or "no" both halt the script with
@DJ this is the project. It looks like the WaitForSpeech command is the problem.
A quick test script of
shows the same result.
In fact, any possible phrases I tested show the same error. I will assume it's a problem with the command unless corrected.
Rich, You are so helpful to everyone. Thank You. I am still wondering why it worked with older version? What changes do I have to to do for the new version? Steve S
I just edited my last post with more info for @DJ. Hopefully it's a simple fix in ARC.
So far, and I haven't spent too long on it but long enough to get a pretty good idea of the problem, I would say it needs an ARC update but we shall wait for DJ to confirm it.
Thank You Rich, I think you have your best intentions in helping so many users. Steve S
Interesting! Ill take a look tonight and have an update by the morning
Thank you Rich and D J, Maybe there other updates being worked on and coming soon? Lookin forward. Steve S
