This is the error message im getting:

> startup
bios:206: [string "startup"]:16: '<name>'
expected

Heres the code

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

local side="Back"
local password = "Password123"
local opentime = 3

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)

write("Password:")
local input = read("*")
if input == password then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Correct")
rs.setOutput(side,true)
sleep(opentime)
rs.setOutput(side,false)
os.reboot()
else
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Incorrect Password")
sleep(5)
os.reboot()
end

Lua is case-sensitive. Use "back", instead of " Back"

On a side note, when calling functions, remember he format is one.twoThreeFour().

Watch your shift button :P/>/>

and i am still getting that error message

maybe try redstone.setOutput instead of rs.setOutput

shouldnt be an issue. but give it a try.

Well.. when i test it with CCEMU everything works fine… my code is:

Spoiler


local oldDog = os.pullEvent
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

local side = "back"
local password = "Password123"
local opentime = 3

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)

write("Password:")
local input = read("*")
if input == password then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Correct")
rs.setOutput(side,true)
sleep(opentime)
rs.setOutput(side,false)
os.reboot()
else
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Incorrect Password")
sleep(5)
os.reboot()
end

os.pullEvent = oldDog

and it cant cause a wrong version, because all CC versions had theese function/apis…. :D/>

but if it still does not work, then reinstall CC :D/> that could be the problem.. but i dont think it is.

are you sure, your Computercraft is installed correct? because i do not find any errors, testing it…
and, did you edit your BIOS file?

i know, i should not do this, but:

you can test my AdvLock… there are NOT any errors, when i test it.. so if it still causes errors, during my AdvLock, then your Computercraft must be configured wrong…

So you get this error from copying straight from what he has? You didn't change a thing?

You haven't overwritten any variables, right? That's the only thing I can think of that could be wrong. Break the computer and place it again.

ok got it to work but it didnt open the door, if the redstone is at the back of the door should (side,true) (side,false) be (back,true) (back,false)?

yes the side parameter should be a string that is either "left" "right" "front" "back" "top" "bottom"

oh sorry I forgot you had a variable called side, i thought u had just got that off the API page. in that case the string stored in the side variable will apply, as long as its lowercase and one of the ones stated before.
