when i was testing this code it worked just fine but when i add Gname = "C#" to the after ever Cname if becomes broke and im confuesed because it worked just fine with the Cname
Px = 1
Py = 3
Cname = "Computer 1"
Gname = "C1"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 2"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 3"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 4"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 5"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 6"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 7"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 8"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 9"
Coms()
Px = 13
Py = 3
Cname = "Computer 10"
Coms()
the C# gets plused by one everytime
so it would look something like this
Px = 1
Py = 3
Cname = "Computer 1"
Gname = "C1"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 2"
Gname = "C2"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 3"
Gname = "C3"
Coms()
Cname = "Computer 4"
Gname = "C4"
Coms()

this isnt the hole code its just the part thats messing up but heres coms()
function Coms()
file = io.open(Gname,"r")
Cstatus = file:read()
file:close()
term.setCursorPos(Px,Py)
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.lightGray)
write("+"..Cname)
if Cstatus == "ON" then
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.lime)
elseif Cstatus == "OFF" then
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.red)
end
write(" ")
Py = Py + 2

Cname is not defined before the function, to fix this, you should make a variable at the very top of your code:
local Cname = ''''

that made it go from line 15 to line 16

You are opening a file. Gname should be a path like "/path/to/file".

like this
Gname = "/C1"
because that didnt work
this is starting to be weird to me because i did this
Px = 1
Py = 3
Gname = ""
Cname = "Computer 1"
Gname = "C1"
Coms()
and had a Gname = "" at the start of the function and it changed just fine on that one but after the Coms() it just breaks

ok so i did some testing and its not the changing thats breaking
Px = 1
Py = 3
Cname = "Computer 1"
Gname = "/C1"
Coms()
print("G") -- it will print this
Cname = "Computer 2"
print("G") -- it will print this
Gname = "/C2"
print(Gname) -- it will print this
Coms() -- and it breaks here
