Hello everyone,

I try to make a colored security lock but I do something wrong and I dont know what that is.

What I try to make:
The first 2 lines need to be orange background with white text.
from the 3th line needs to be a white background with black text.

and then the last 2 lines on the bottom need to be orange again.

Many thanks if you can help me

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
local standby = 5
local side = "left"
local password = "xixili"
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.orange)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(12,1)
term.setTextColor(colors.white)
print("Security Panel")
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,3)
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.white)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,4)
write("Password: ")
local input = read("*")
if input == password then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,4)
print("Correct")
rs.setOutput(side,true)
sleep(5)
rs.setOutput(side,false)
os.reboot()
else
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,4)
print("Wrong Password")
sleep(2)
os.reboot()
end

term.clear fills the entire screen with the current background color. Call it only when you want to clear the screen. I fixed up everything a little bit.

I'm sure the code is self-explanatory

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
local standby = 5
local side = "left"
local password = "xixili"

-- we'll put the "Security Panel" text exactle in the middle
-- and this'll help us fill the last row with orange
local width, height = term.getSize()

term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.white)
term.clear() -- fill the screen with white

term.setTextColor(colors.white)
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.orange)
term.clearLine() -- that will fill the first row of the screen with orange

term.setCursorPos(1, height)
term.clearLine() -- ditto, but the cursor is on the last row, so will be the filling

local text = "Security Panel"
term.setCursorPos(math.floor((width - #text) / 2), 1)
-- this is the native text writing method from the term API
-- it writes text where the cursor currently is
term.write(text)

term.setTextColor(colors.black)
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.white)
term.setCursorPos(3, 3)
term.write("Password: ") -- write the Password message
local input = read("*")

term.setCursorPos(3, 5) -- took this out of the IF block - it happens anyway
if input == password then
    term.write("Correct")
    rs.setOutput(side, true)
    sleep(5)
    rs.setOutput(side, false)
else
    term.write("Wrong Password")
    sleep(2)
end
os.reboot()

EDIT: Line 22: Forgot the length operator (#)...

EDIT: Line 22: Forgot the length operator (#)...

Its a long time ago that I worked with computercraft so I need to learn it all over again

There is an error on line 22
1:22: attempt to perform arithmetic on string

Even the block you quoted states that I forgot the # operator from line 22...

EDIT: Aaaaaand as an addition, I forgot that you wanted the orange lines to be two char high. Heck, sorry for that.
