Why isnt thism working?

Just made this code

local side = "left"
local password = "bacon"
local opentime = 5
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
write("Password: ")
local input = read("*")
if input == password then
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  print("Password correct!")
  rs.setOutput(side,true)
  sleep(opentime)
  rs.setOutput(side,false)

elseif redstone.getInput ("left") then
  print("Terminal Blocked")
  sleep (3)
 
  else
  print ("Password Incorrect")
  sleep(2)
end
end

So, the porpuse is to be a normal door lock but it doesn't work when it has a redstone signal from the left.

But it dosen't work! Why?

elseif redstone.getInput ("left") then
  print("Terminal Blocked")
  sleep (3)
 

Remove that entire block and it should work normally, why do you have it in there?

I'm pretty sure he meant that it still opens the door, even when the computer has an input from the left side.

The reason for that is, that it only checks for the signal when the password is incorrect.
Just swap the password checking and the redstone part, so it looks like this:

local side = "left"
local password = "bacon"
local opentime = 5
while true do
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  write("Password: ")
  local input = read("*")
  if redstone.getInput ("left") then
    print("Terminal Blocked")
    sleep (3)
  elseif input == password then
    term.clear()
    term.setCursorPos(1,1)
    print("Password correct!")
    rs.setOutput(side,true)
    sleep(opentime)
    rs.setOutput(side,false)
  else
    print ("Password Incorrect")
    sleep(2)
  end
end

I want it to be normal, but i want it to block when it has a rs signal from left

In that case, wieselkatze has the fix.
