SOLVED Access the default values in outside functions

[gndimitro]

I’m having troubles accessing my default values in my hello function, in my start function the values exist but in hello they are undefined and unreadable, code is below:

Module.register("jarvis", {
// Module defaults
  defaults: {
    assistantName: "jarvis",
    assistantVoice: "UK English Male"
  },

  // Required Scripts
  getScripts: function() {
	return ["annyang.js",
        "http://code.responsivevoice.org/responsivevoice.js"];
},

hello: function(name) {

    if(name)
      name = name.trim().toLowerCase();

Log.info(name)
Log.info(this.config.assistantName)

if(name && (name == this.config.assistantName))
  responsiveVoice.speak("Hello George");
else {
  responsiveVoice.speak("Hello");
}
  },

  start: function() {
  Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);
  annyang.debug();
    if (annyang) {
      // Let's define a command.
      var commands = {
        'hello (*name)': this.hello
      };

      // Add our commands to annyang
      annyang.addCommands(commands);

      // Start listening.
      annyang.start();
}

Log.info(this.config.assistantVoice)
Log.info(this.config.assistantName)

// Setting voice default
responsiveVoice.setDefaultVoice(this.config.assistantVoice);
  }
});

Please help, thank you!

That’s because “this” is no longer referring to your instance. It’s a common javascript pitfall. Check out:
