whops… change this line

if player == 'Plazter' or 'AlternateLogic' then

to this

if player == 'Plazter' or player == 'AlternateLogic' then

that was an oversight on my part, sorry… would you like me to explain WHY this happened?

it should… oh you mean each time? I thought you might have liked a log :P/> just move those clear and setCursorPos back into the while loop. :)/>

Would like to make a log but meh it looks stupid when it stands on the same line and such xD

local handle = fs.open('someFile', 'w')

handle.write('===== New Instance ::: Day: '..os.day()..' Time: '..textutils.formatTime(os.time())..' =====\n')
handle.flush() -- write changes to the file

handle.write('Day: '..os.day()..' Time: '..textutils.formatTime(os.time())..' '..player..' attempted to access cave!\n')
handle.flush() -- write changes to the file

You could always do a log file.

to open a file

local handle = fs.open('someFile', 'w')

when your program starts up

handle.write('===== New Instance ::: Day: '..os.day()..' Time: '..textutils.formatTime(os.time())..' =====\n')
handle.flush() -- write changes to the file

then when you want to add a log to the file

handle.write('Day: '..os.day()..' Time: '..textutils.formatTime(os.time())..' '..player..' attempted to access cave!\n')
handle.flush() -- write changes to the file

Wow.. so in the mainprogram (the startup for monitor) would have that fs.open in the while loop?
and then i create a file called log and place it in file i assume? :b sorry aint the best at understanding those things :)/>

rednet.open("back")

local ID = 237
local mon = peripheral.wrap('left')
local handle = fs.open('someFile', 'w')

local function log(msg)
  h.write(msg..'\n')
  h.flush()
end

term.redirect(mon) -- make term calls go to the monitor

log('===== New Instance ::: Day: '..os.day()..' Time: '..textutils.formatTime(os.time())..' =====')
while true do
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  local event, rid, msg = os.pullEvent('rednet_message') -- wait here for a rednet message... reduces lag...

  if rid == ID then
	write(msg.." has entered the cave!")
	log('Day: '..os.day()..' Time: '..textutils.formatTime(os.time())..' '..msg..' attempted to access cave!')
  else
	log('Day: '..os.day()..' Time: '..textutils.formatTime(os.time())..' Invalid message from: '..rid..' with the contents: '..msg)
  end
end

Maybe its a noob question but how does rednet detect players?

local event, player = os.pullEventRaw('player')

Nice this is handy for pvp if someone is coming near you :)/>

Do u maybe have time for coding something else for me if u want? :$

Or has entered your base. the other usage I saw was starting up a mob farm.

Starting a new thread would be better. This thread can be used as future reference when people search their question before posting a new topic, thus preventing non-needed threads. If you change the title, then the thread is thrown into chaos since it pertains to a multitude of problems.

i've tryed this on another server, and it will only let me in, + i wish to add more ppl, is that just writeing them in before the last "=="?

Hello pro's!

As you can tell of the topic, i've hitted a wall, i cant limit the acces with my player detector with my code, the code i've had help with before, but now i dont want it to send a message to another just limit it, it's my old code, and should work, but for some reason, people without thier name in the list still can acces to the room the code is: http://pastebin.com/iUvyND1P

and the code for you to see here:
-snip-

Any 1 that can tell me why this happen? :)/>

Regards Plazter.

Hmmm. Not too sure why, it should work fine… except that hybridanden would not be able to access due to you have player == 'hybridanden' instead of p1 == 'hybridanden' which is why only you can get in.
If you want to add more people to the list I suggest using this code, it makes it easier for you to add people in as you add their username to the table at the top of the code (add the name in lowercase)
