Error during minting with code from Opensea guide - smartcontracts

Question

I'm trying to deploy my first SmartContract following the Opensea guide. Everything was working fine until I set a price for my tokens and added the payable keyword. Now when I try to mint, I get the error Transaction value did not equal the mint price. Looking at the code I'm thinking I need to send ETH in the mint request in msg.value somehow but I'm not sure what the syntax would be for that?
Here's how I'm minting in shell:
npx hardhat mint --address {wallet_address}
Here's the mint function in JS:
task("mint", "Mints from the NFT contract")
.addParam("address", "The address to receive a token")
.setAction(async function (taskArguments, hre) {
const contract = await getContract("NFT", hre);
const transactionResponse = await contract.mintTo(taskArguments.address, {
gasLimit: 500_000,
});
console.log(`Transaction Hash: ${transactionResponse.hash}`);
});
And the mintTo function in the .sol contract:
// Main minting function
function mintTo(address recipient) public payable returns (uint256) {
uint256 tokenId = currentTokenId.current();
require(tokenId < TOTAL_SUPPLY, "Max supply reached");
require(msg.value == MINT_PRICE, "Transaction value did not equal the mint price");
currentTokenId.increment();
uint256 newItemId = currentTokenId.current();
_safeMint(recipient, newItemId);
return newItemId;
}

I figured out a solution for this issue. You need to set the price inside the mint task in mint.js like so:
task("mint", "Mints from the NFT contract")
.addParam("address", "The address to receive a token")
.setAction(async function (taskArguments, hre) {
const contract = await getContract("NFT", hre);
const transactionResponse = await contract.mintTo(taskArguments.address, {
gasLimit: 500_000,
value: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.01")
});
console.log(`Transaction Hash: ${transactionResponse.hash}`);
});
I have not figured out a way to have this import the MINT_PRICE variable from the contract. Note: You may need to add const { ethers } = require("ethers"); at the top of the file.
