I am making an high-secured building using cc,buildcraft,and rp2.For the main enterance,I put rp2 lights to tell you if the pass is right or not.And to power those lights im using bundled and colored cables.And when I try to turn the cables on,it wont work.Is there a code to turn on the cables?

rs.setBundledOutput( <side>, <color> )

where side is a string of the side to output and color is the color of the cable ( i.e. colors.black colours.red colors.blue etc )

Check out the Redstone API. It tells you exactly how we interact with redstone and redpower.

And colors.combine() gives the value needed to set a combination of colors. Like:


rs.setBundledOutput("front", colors.combine( colors.red, colors.yellow ) )

And that can ever work to add onto the existing output colours by doing this:


rs.setBundledOutput("front", colors.combine( rs.getBudledInput("front"), colors.yellow ) )

Also if you only want to turn off one colour but leave the rest on


rs.setBundledOutput( <side>, colors.subtract( rs.getBundledInput( <side> ), <color> ) )

where <side> and <color> have the appropriate values
