According to Bundled Cables...

Hey Folks!

I need some help with these bundled cables.

I'm trying to make a script that asks a machine if it is working atm, and when it is working, it should ask me if I want to turn the machine (or more precise: a redstone signal) off.
And otherwise, I want the script to ask me to turn on the machine, if it is off.

Well, this is not my problem ;)/>/>

My problem is: How do I get the state of a certain redstone signal on a bundled cable?

I tried

red = rs.getBundledInput("back", colors.red)
if red == "true" then

but there he told me "attempt to call number"

This code actually works for normal red alloy wire, if u use

rs.getInput("side")

I tried things like

if rs.getBundledInput("back", colors.red) == true then

but that didn't do anything.


I tried some other things, but nothing seemed to work. Everything works fine using the normal alloy wire, but I dont get any in- or output of the bundled cables :(/>/>


so pleeeze help out a german :(/>/>

Also, du machst folgendes :

local Red = rs.testBundledInput("back", colors.red)

1. local : um Global-Write errors vorzubeugen
2. testBundledInput : um zu ermitteln, ob eine Farbe an ist.

Mit getBundledInput müsste es so aussehen :

local Input = rs.getBundledInput("back")
local Red = colors.test(Input, colors.red)

und dann kannst du mit Red ein if-statement anfangen.

Ich hoffe, das hilft ;)/>/>

ENGLISH :

Put the following :

local Red = rs.testBundledInput("back", colors.red)

into the code.

1. local : to avoid Global-Write errors
2. testBundledInput : to determine, if a color is on.

With getBundledInput it had to look like this :

local Input = rs.getBundledInput("back")
local Red = colors.test(Input, colors.red)

and then you can start an if-statement with Red.

Hope that helps :(/>/>

^ was faster, and I also didn't find all issues that he found.

Hihihi…

Aber das mit dem local ist ja nur eine Frage von gutem Programmier- bzw. Skriptstil :(/>/>

Danke für die netten Antworten ;)/>/>

But both of your codes didn't seem to work. After your code I just wrote

 if Red == "true" then ...
else ...

and so on. But the PC keeps believing that that my designated cable is off, no matter what its state is.

Any ideas?

You're using true as a string instead of a Boolean. Remove the quotes and it should work. In fact, you can simply use 'if Red then' since it checks to see if Red is not nil or false.
