After several revisions, my Lua program still refuses to do anything.
--Let's Go!

--How to close a door
function close(door)

end
function open(door)
local input = rs.getBundledOutput("right")
rs.setBundledOutput("right", colors.subtract(input, door))

--GATE CONTROLS
function gateclose()
rs.setOutput(top, true)
wait(1)
rs.setOutput(top, false)
close(colors.pink)
end
function gateopen()
open(colors.pink)
end
--Beef of the program
--Start out with all doors open
if args[1] == gate and args[2] == open then --if the command is gate open
gateopen()
elseif args[1] == gate and args[2] == close then --if the command is gate close
gateclose()
end
I've tried and tried, but still, no response. I have the setup (physically, if you could call it that) correct (the bundled cable is on the right) and no error messages, but when run with the 'gate close' arguments, no response from the wires.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Most probably you want to compare string:
if args[1] == "gate" and args[2] == "open" then --if the command is gate open
gateopen()
elseif args[1] == "gate" and args[2] == "close" then --if the command is gate close
gateclose()
end
