i need help

i keep getting

bios:337: [string"startup"]:7: syntax error

please help

Please post the rest of the code.

the pastebin is:
pastebin get dBzApegq startup
you will need these as well:
pastebin get R8Yd2A8u hand
pastebin get 2WeaxMbP handGood
pastebin get VKqCGrF7 handBad

On line 7 you are calling:

radar = sensor.wrap("right")

Is the OCS api actually loading when you call it on the first line? The OCS files do not appear on the computer unless it sees a valid sensor connected to the computer. But the error you are getting looks like it thinks "sensor" is undefined.

no on line 7 i have door.setTextScale(0.5)

it is line 5 sorry

i got this of a youtuber named vgtoolbox here is a link to there video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXL1T5rRurI

i managed to fix to but now it says

term:16: invalid redirect object

help please

Sounds like you're trying to use term.redirect() incorrectly. Make sure the object you're passing it is a valid monitor, and not, for example, nil.

i fixed that but now to says

bios:337: [string"startup"]:7: syntax error

can you help me with that

Every time you change the code, you need to post the code again.

here is the paste bin
pastebin get VKqCGrF7 handBad
pastebin get 2WeaxMbP handGood
pastebin get R8Yd2A8u hand
pastebin get dBzApegq startup
use these in computer craft

i keep getting

bios:337: [string"startup"]:7: syntax error

There's nothing wrong with those links. We're asking for your code, as in, what's on your computer, not the downloads from that video.

that is the code i have

Those are the same links you posted earlier, but you're saying you are getting different errors now. If you don't give us the code that you're actually using, that's actually causing those errors, we can't help you diagnose the problem.

os.loadAPI("ocs/apis/sensor")


door = peripheral.wrap("monitor_0")
door,setTextScale(0.5)

radar = sensor.wrap("right")

allow = {}
allow.weemartin2001 = true

avoid = {}
avoid.kingdylon31 = true

xMin = -5
xMax = -1
zMin = -6
zMax = -4

term.redirect(door)

handGood = paintutils.loadimage("handgood")
handBad = paintutils.loadimage("handBad")
handNormal = paintituls.loadimage("hand")

paintutils.drawImage(handNormal,1,1)


local function checkInRange(number, min, max)

return number >= min and number <= max

end

local function checkTargets(targets, compare)

for k,v in pairs(compare) do

if targets[k] then
–print(targets[k].position.x," ", targets[k].position.Z)
–sleep(8)
if checkInRange(targets[k].position.Z, yMin, yMax) then
return true

end

end

end

end

return false

end

while true do

timer = os.startTimer(9)

e, k = os.pullEvent()

if e == "monitor_touch" then
if checkTargets(radar.getTargets(),allow) and not checkTargets(radar.getTargets(), avoid) then
paintutils.drawImage(handGood, 1,1)
rs.setOutput("front", true)
sleep(2)
else
paintutils.drawImage(handBad, 1,1)
sleep(3)
os.reboot()

end
end
end

Comma?

Note that just because an error message tells you the issue is on a given line, doesn't mean the issue is on that line - commands can take multiple lines, so if you don't finish one properly, Lua will expect you to finish it later, then error out at the point where it realises that's not going to happen. As a general rule, if you can't spot an obvious issue with the line it complains about then you should check the one above it.
