I have an opto sensor on a habitrail that when 'hit" I want to display a short message on a display segment. The problem is thus: there is a spinner at the ramp entrance, and if the spinner is still scoring when the ball hits the sensor, then the message is not displayed. the message is displayed if I use the manual ball roller and slowly push the ball past the spinner so it has stopped before it gets to sensor. the display code is simple and in this subroutine: Code: Sub TriggerOpto3_Hit()
FluxCapacitorOn()
Sign = Sign + 1
Select Case Sign
Case 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29
DispSegM.QueueText " BACK TO 1955", seBlink, 3000, 0, False, ""
HudSegInfo.QueueText " BACK TO 1955", seBlink, 3000, 0, False, ""
HillValleySign1955.Dropped = FALSE
HillValleySign1985.Dropped = TRUE
Case 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30
DispSegM.QueueText " BACK TO 1985", seBlink, 3000, 0, False, ""
HudSegInfo.QueueText " BACK TO 1985", seBlink, 3000, 0, False, ""
HillValleySign1955.Dropped = TRUE
HillValleySign1985.Dropped = FALSE
End Select
End Sub how do I force the display to show the message even if there is scoring in progress?

You can have flag ScoreUpdate = true/false So in your segment code for score preface that with: If ScoreUpdate = true then ..... Then in opo trigger code have Flush queue code ScoreUpdate = false And then add a timer to turn it back on.... Scoretimer.set True, 2000 Sub Scoretimer_expired Scoretimer.set False ScoreUpdate =True End Sub
