I'm trying to write a pair of programs to work in tandem that are completly confusing me. What I'm attempting to make is a 'vault' entrance;
Here's what I"m trying to -get- it to do:
computer 1 (away from the vault)
menu option 1: "Unlock"
(Sends redstone signal to computer 2)
menu option 2: "Lock"
(Turns off Redstone Signal to computer 2)
computer 2:
menu option 1: Unlock
IF the computer is recieving the above redstone signal, opens the door
If not, does nothing
menu option 2: Lock
shuts the door.
Also, if computer one is set to lock, I'd like the door to close reguardles of if the 'unlock' option is active on computer2.
This is a lot more complex than anything i've attempted before; is the second computer's setup even POSSIBLE? I'm only using single redstone inputs, so. Nothing bundled.

I hope I understood you correctly.
Lock Control:Spoiler
local rsOutputSide = "back"
local unlocked = false
local function write( text, color )
if term.isColor() and color then
term.setTextColor( color )
term.write( text )
term.setTextColor( colors.white )
else
term.write( text )
end
end
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 2)
print( " Menu:n" )
print( " 1 - Unlock" )
print( " 2 - Lock" )
print( " ----------" )
print( " Q - Quitn" )
write( " State: ") if unlocked then write( "unlocked", colors.lime ) else write( "locked", colors.red ) end
local _, char = os.pullEvent( "char" )
if char == "1" then
rs.setOutput( rsOutputSide, true ) -- Unlock door
unlocked = true
elseif char == "2" then
rs.setOutput( rsOutputSide, false ) -- Lock door
unlocked = false
elseif string.lower( char ) == "q" then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
return
end
end
Spoiler
local rsInputSide = "back"
local rsDoorSide = "left"
local unlocked = rs.getInput( rsInputSide )
local function write( text, color )
if term.isColor() and color then
term.setTextColor( color )
term.write( text )
term.setTextColor( colors.white )
else
term.write( text )
end
end
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 2)
print( " Menu:n" )
print( " 1 - Open" )
print( " 2 - Close" )
print( " ----------" )
print( " Q - Quitn" )
write( " State: " )
if unlocked then write( "unlocked", colors.lime ) else write( "locked", colors.red ) end
write( " and " )
if rs.getOutput( rsDoorSide ) then write( "opened", colors.lime ) else write( "closed", colors.red ) end
local event, char = os.pullEvent( )
if event == "redstone" then
if rs.getInput( rsInputSide ) then
unlocked = true
else
rs.setOutput( rsDoorSide, false ) -- Close door
unlocked = false
end
end
if event == "char" then
if char == "1" then
if rs.getInput( rsInputSide ) then
rs.setOutput( rsDoorSide, true ) -- Open door
end
elseif char == "2" then
rs.setOutput( rsDoorSide, false ) -- Close door
elseif string.lower( char ) == "q" then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
return
end
end
end
Remember to set the variables at the top to the side where your redstone in- and outputs are.

Sadly I can't test this until tomorrow- but I'll give it a shot, and thanks in advance for trying! :P/>/>
