Password Doors

Ok I have found a small thing I am curious about fixing. I have password locked doors but want the program to basically make the player exit the gui after entering the correct password so they can go through the door. Is there a way to do this?

You mean automatically close the console? Hmm…I'm not aware of one.

Have the console just in reach then moved away with rp2 frames should close the GUI. Then when the door is closed, move it back into position.

That wont' work because I have the computer keeping the door open. The moment you move the computer it would shut the door.

Unless you hold it open with RedPower or another computer.

Use a RP RS latch + Timer

When the door is closed, the timer is held stopped by an inverted signal from the door
When the door is opened, the latch is toggled, the timer starts.
When the timer pulses, it pulses the Reset on the latch, closing the door and holding the timer again.

I think another computer with Rednet is probably easier though :P/>

Also means if someone hacks your computer, they haven't hacked your door!

One way I basicly I use to it,is to type:

shell.run("shutdown")

Since my pass door program is in the startup,when ever you turn it on,it will start the program.Although,if you want it to basicly just go back to the shell,then use this code:

shell.run("shell")

shell.run("") basicly runs the program that you want to.Just put the program in between the "" and when it reaches to that point,it will run it.For the program your writing,heres an example on how to use it:

local input = read("*") -- Use "*" only if you want to display the text
--like that to hide your pass.
if input == "Whatever pass here" then
-- Do stuff to open and close door.
--Just a hint.Use sleep() anywere in between to the code to open
--and close the door.It will make sure that the comp wont shutdown
--without closing the door.
shell.run("shutdown") -- or "shell"
end

Just do a normal password input then add this:

while true do
  local events = {os.pullEvent()}
  if events[1] == "key" and events[2] == 1 then
    sleep(1)  -- this will wait for them to walk to the door
    --add redstone signal here
    sleep(1)
    --stop redstone signal here
    break
  end
end
os.reboot()

This will wait until a user presses 'escape' and then it will break the loop, then restart the computer.

Or you could make a turtle to destroy the computer, then placing it again

Thought I read that the Escape key was no longer forwarded to the program, Is this a lie?

No escape is no longer sent to the program… *searches for link where I asked Cloudy if it still was*

Comment #15 to the end http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/8614-fullscreen-mode/

A user in a PM recently sent me a message regarding this…
This'll be fun! Wonder how long before he notices it doesn't work.

Hopefully he was using an old version which DOES do it :P/>

Using the latest CC and I am just giving on this one. Thanks anyways.

Yes indeed it does :D/>
In which case he's probably using a 1.2.5 version of Tekkit..

So I don't want to help him now :P/>

This is a plausible solution, as long as the computer is labelled or a disk drive attached to it… combined with some kind of rs latch

Not looking to have to either replace computers or hide a disk drive. Was looking for a code fix.

Well, there was a code fix of sorts, but it was deliberately removed. I somewhat understand the reasoning behind that decision.
