I tweaked it a little so it should work now:
–snip–
While helping out is fine in all regards, it's better to let them find the answer, or have them understand it, rather than give it outright. Why have one person coming back to AaP with a problem they're repeating when we could point out the error tell them how to fix it, and let them.
Also you're code is flawed, and didn't fix the original error.
print("which room? ")
local input, room = read("*")
room1 = "The " .. room .. "is "
lockdown = " WARNING The " .. room .. " Has been Sealed "
print(" The room is now set to" .. room)
term.clear()
rednet.open("top")
You've got a couple of problems with this first and foremost, your usage of read("*")
While that is correct, the way you're setting it to variables is wrong as read only returns a single variable so in the case of
local input,room = read("*")
input is whatever you type, and room is nil as there's nothing to set the value as.
Secondly, while i'm not sure that it's entirely wrong
room1 = "The " .. room .. "is "
should be
room1 = ("The " .. room .. "is ")
That way it knows that the whole thing is one part, and it makes sure that it's being set as that.
end
while true do
local id, msg = rednet.receive()
if msg == "open"
then term.setTextColor(colors.green)
print(room1 .. msg)
end
elseif msg == "Closed"
then term.setTextColor(colors.yellow)
print(room1 .. msg)
end
elseif msg == "clear"
then term.clear()
end
elseif msg == "lockdown"
then term.setTextColor(colors.red)
print(lockdown)
end
else end
There are many problems here and we pointed the most glaring one out, the one with your if's and elseif's however the one that's causing your error that you see, is the first line in this section. There's nothing to end, and so it's raising that error.
Now if you incorporate all that advice into a file you should get something like this
Spoiler
print("which room? ")
local room = read("*")
room1 = ("The " .. room .. "is ")
lockdown = (" WARNING The " .. room .. " Has been Sealed ")
print(" The room is now set to" .. room)
term.clear()
rednet.open("top")
while true do
local id, msg = rednet.receive()
if msg == "open" then
term.setTextColor(colors.green)
print(room1 .. msg)
elseif msg == "Closed" then
term.setTextColor(colors.yellow)
print(room1 .. msg)
elseif msg == "clear" then
term.clear()
elseif msg == "lockdown" then
term.setTextColor(colors.red)
print(lockdown)
end
end
Edit: Thanks for pointing that out Bengt
