Ugh... strange problem (related to redstone)

ok so, im trying to make it so a program opens a door, then another program closes it, its been working for the past ever, but i accidentaly broke the computer and re-did the code AND NOW ITS NOT,


i have:

"open"

rs.setBundledoutput("back", colors.red, true)

and the other program is "close"

rs.setBundledoutput("back", colors.red, false)


yet if i do any of these programs it sends a true signal though red.. and cant be turned off untill i stop the computer..

its best to use the colors API in conjunction with the redstone API

To Turn on:
c = colors.combine( c, colors.red)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", c )

To Turn Off:
c = colors.subtract( c, colors.red)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", c )

There are other ways to achieve this but I believe this is the cleanest.

Well you wrote the code wrong when redoing it :)/>/> This:

rs.setBundledOutput("back", 0)

is what your close program should look like.

Edit: Damn ninjas! Yes, the above code would work - albeit with a little alteration:

To Turn on:
c = rs.getBundledOutput("back")
c = colors.combine( c, colors.red)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", c )

To Turn Off:
c = rs.getBundledOutput("back")
c = colors.subtract( c, colors.red)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", c )

The alteration is so this would work properly - otherwise c will be nil when it is first being used. You will also maintain the current output of the RedPower bundled cable, and only alter the red sub wire.

The rs.setBundledOutput() function takes only 2 parameters: the side and the colors to set. To turn off every output you have to do:

rs.setBundledOutput("side", 0) -- 0 is no colors

if it takes only 2 paramiters,how do i set it to turn of a specific color?

Using the colors API.

use colors.combine to add a color to turn on and colors.subtract to remove the color you want to turn off. Small example above. You can also do multiples like

c = colors.combine(c, colors.red, colors.blue, etc)

ok i got it. thanks guys! real help, quick responce by multiple people.. saved me some trouble.
