counter

i try to figure out how to make a counter that will increase with each redstone pulse like a costumer counter in a shop there the redstone pulse is from an pressure plate problem is i cant get it to work ik how to get a value from a signal true/false and how to make a additon but i cant really make it so it will convert that true false signal to a number or varibl and i also whant it to loop without reseting the cunter and i havent figured out how to make that happen please help me iam a noob but i cant find any good tutorials:(

count = 0 --Starting value
while true do --Infinate loop
event,  side = os.pullEvent()  --Freeze until an event, and store as var
if event == "redstone" and side == "right" then --Change right to side to input too
count = count  + 1 --count get's increased by 1
end --end if
end --End while

This would do the trick

Allso try in "ask a pro" section for questions next time

ok missed that thread but i will nexdt time thanks for the code i jsut need to see the function to learn it and i think i was on the right track

i tried to make it so i also print the value so i can display it on an monitor but it dont work at al i added
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1.1)
write("count: "..count)
i added it right before the end for the IF
but it dosent show anything

You have a period in "term.setCursorPos(1.1)" when it should be "term.setCursorPos(1,1)" – with a comma.

count = 0 e
while true do
event, side = os.pullEvent()
if event == "redstone" and side == "right" then
count = count + 1
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
write (count)
end
end
this is the program but all it do wene i run it is saying the program name nothing more the program is named rs and its jsut rs that is shown on the screen

It's waiting for a redstone signal, probably. Either that, or you're clearing the screen before it does anything. Also, please post code in

 tags.

It need altering. a redstone event happens 2 times. One turning on and one turning off. Therefor i changed the code in the quote

still get the same error as before :D/>/>

ithe idea for this program was from direwolf20 server lp the 2-3 last episode there he has a monitor that keep track of how many times he has used hes back door fron toor and it was rechardg that made it so i just wondred if somone could help me to make an replica with it
