Soulshard Mobgrinder

V1.0

This program is very simple it utilizes the chatbox peripheral to make a wireless mobspawner.

Requirements:

This requires at least the Soulshards, Computercraft(of course) and MiscPeripherals.

All the Soulshards must be at tier 5.

What it does:

Picks up chat messages such as:

Blaze on

Blaze off

To toggle on and off the spawners.

If it worked it will reply with:

Blazes Initiated

Blazes Deinitiated

How it does it:

Using the chatbox peripheral it reads what is said in chat.

In accordance to what is said it will toggle a redstone signal.

IE:

Blazes on – turns off redstone signal going to the "Blaze" side.

Downside:

As of right now with this code anyone can initiate the spawners from any distance.

(As long as chunk is loaded.)

(If you know how to secure it to 1 person or a group of people please post how to do so)

Code (Because everyone loves it.):

rs.setOutput("front", true)
rs.setOutput("back", true)
rs.setOutput("left", true)
rs.setOutput("right", true)
	  m = peripheral.wrap("bottom")
		while true do
		event, player, message = os.pullEvent("chat")
		  if message == "Zombie on" then
		  rs.setOutput("front", false)
		  m.say("Zombies Initiated")
		end
		  if message == "Zombie off" then
		  rs.setOutput("front", true)
		  m.say("Zombies Deinitiated")
		end
		  if message == "Skeleton on" then
		  rs.setOutput("left", false)
		  m.say("Skeletons Initiated")
		end
		  if message == "Skeleton off" then
		  rs.setOutput("left",true)
		  m.say("Skeletons Deinitiated")
		end
		  if message == "Blaze on" then
		  rs.setOutput("right", false)
		  m.say("Blazes Initiated")
		end
		  if message == "Blaze off" then
		  rs.setOutput("right", true)
		  m.say("Blazes Deinitiated")
		end
		  if message == "Creeper on" then
		  rs.setOutput("back", false)
		  m.say("Creepers Initiated")
		end
		  if message == "Creeper off" then
		  rs.setOutput("back", true)
		  m.say("Creepers Deinitiated")
		end
	  end

The "chat" event returns the player's name as an argument, you can use that to make it only work for certain people.

I've messed around trying change the argument from "message" to "player"


m = peripheral.wrap("bottom")
  while true do
	event, player, message = os.pullEvent('chat")
	  if player = "bimmybear" then
		m.say("Hi bimmybear")
	  end
  end

This returned no results. I also don't know if in order to specify the player I must specify a message, if so would


if player, message = "bimmybear, Hello" then
  m.say("Hello bimmybear")

work?

Or you could make it like this, so no one but yourself will activate it.


m = peripheral.wrap("bottom")
			    while true do
			    event, player, message = os.pullEvent("chat")
				  if player == "nickname" and message == "Zombie on" then
				  rs.setOutput("front", false)
				  m.say("Zombies Initiated")
			    end
		  end

Hmmm I may make a second version of this using the openperipheral glasses. Guess its time to learn a new peripheral. Don't they use "$$" before each message?

Yep, it's an event which is called. You type $$something in the chat, and the event will receive the message "something" ;)/>
