I'm completely new to programming of any kind :wacko:/>
I want to create an elevator in tekkit but i wish to also integrate computercraft into my design, however im struggling with the craftOS scripting language :(/>
My question is i want to create a piece of script that when i send a redstone input i want a redstone output coming out of another side lasting 0.5 seconds and repeating however many times i want it to, can anyone help me?
I would like to know how to do this because I want the lift to go up smoothly, rather than the user having to repeatedly press a button, and it being a nuisence since tekkit is about getting rid of manual labour :)/>

welcome to the forums

you want to use the RS api:
http://computercraft...stone_%28API%29
and the sleep function:


sleep(0.5)

if you want to learn LUA then you can read the manual:
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

and look around the programs section to see how other people did it

you can also use RP's timers if you dont think you are ready for CC
