Computer Craft and BuildCraft working toghter

Hey every one come check out the awesome build I am doing with Computer Craft and BuildCraft

Ok, First off, Check your spelling. There were so many mistakes. With that out of the way, How did you turn on the computers with the other computer? That was actually interesting…

Computers turn on when you right click them, so my guess would be using a deployer with an item in it that doesn't alter blocks when you right click (eg a red flower) then set the startup script to whatever and boom, computer runs a program via redstone input.

At least that's the theory, I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

It's far more easy than that. Computers are peripherals themselves, exposing methods like start(), shutdown() and reboot().

No, but you can just make a startup loop..

In His videos there were no deployers. Just redstone bundled cables hooked to the back and sides.

No, but they have a turnOn method :P/>/>

everything was encapsulated, whatever was behind the main pcs, you couldn't see it.

No they don't. There is shutdown() and there is reboot(), that's it for altering the on state. Right clicking isn't a method.

Try wraping it as a peripheral from other computer. It exposes methods like turnOn and turnOff, that you can call from the other computer.
Example:

local computer = peripheral.wrap("left")
computer.turnOn()

That will turn on the computer on the left of the computer you're using. So, if you put that in the startup of every computer, starting the first one turns all of them on ;)/>/>

I knew about the wrapping. I did not know about computer acting as an api since it's not listed in help or the wiki. This needs to be ammended. Does it count as an api or something else? I'll add a wiki page. Or if not me, someone else who knows more about it.

That's link, scroll to bottom to see computer peripheral.

Explains it since I didn't go past events, since nearly every other API has nothing past events, I had gotten used to that as a rule of thumb.

Wow sorry I missed this convo. Well first thing is fist I know there is spelling missakes ;)/>/> they will be fixed. Secound how I turn on the computers is really simple and stupid but workes. :(/>/>

shell.setDir("disk")
while true do
term.clear()
repeat
coroutine.yield()
until rs.testBundledInput("right", colors.blue) == true

and you can changed this to a rednet message or anything.

Ok, I've got to give you points for that one, I did not see that coming.
Technically the computer is always on, but still, that is incredibly intuitive.

Thanks and also my way if the computer is on but not displaying anything you can have it run other things. If you noticed in the videos on the top of the computers the the read lamps were on. So each of them where powering the lamps to indicate if it was off or on.

How the heck does that work? Could you do a mini tutorial or something? :(/>/>

I covered it in part 6 of my tutorial series but its with a wire and there is no disk drive
