So, I learnt a fair bit of computer craft for DW20- I can now do a fair bit, not loads but just basic programing.

The terminal glasses, it has a unique code when used on the bridge, can you track these glasses if you lost them?

Or is there like any other way to track people with
- open peripherals
- open peripherals aaddon
- openccsensors

And other computer related mods from crackpack

I did use WR-CBE but no one uses that at all, any idea how to track people?
Lua woukd also be great :)/>

Thanks

My bad fellas, though please still answer my question :)/>

It is possible to write a program to track the movement of any entity within range of the sensor added in OpenPeripheral-Addons, however it does require them being within range, which by default is a 7 block radius I believe. Short of that, unless the pack you're using adds something extra to track you're not going to have much luck. If you don't want people seeing the content of your glasses you could use user surfaces; these allow you to draw specifically to certain users, meaning you could draw the content you want to your own, and perhaps a message to all the others asking for the return of your glasses.
