hello there fellow Coders I am attempting to build the ultimate Lock for a piston Door that will secure my applied energistics Core and only allow certain people to enter and leave... the build uses project red bundled wires and the open periphial sensor. I tried everything to get this to work but to no success.. I keep getting the error DoorLock:12: Expected String, Number...
please help

• 
  local sensor = peripheral.wrap("top")
  
• 
  local output = ("right")
  
• 
  local initial = ("colors.combine(colors.white, colors.orange)")
  
• 
  local minX = ("-5")
  
• 
  local maxX = ("5")
  
• 
  local minY = ("5")
  
• 
  local MaxY = ("5")
  
• 
  local MinZ = ("-2")
  
• 
  local MaxZ = ("2")
  
• 
  redstone.setBundledOutput(output,initial)
  
• 
  function getLocation()
  
• 
  info = sensor.getPlayerData(name)
  
• 
  pos = info.position
  
• 
  if pos.x >= minX and pos.x <= maxX and
  
• 
  pos.y >= minY and pos.y <= maxY and
  
• 
  pos.z >= minZ and pos.z <= maxZ then
  
• 
  redstone.setBundledOutput(output1, not initial)
  
• 
  end
  
• 
  end
  
• 
  while true do
  
• 
  players = sensor.getPlayerNames()
  
• 
  if players == 0 then
  
• 
  redstone.setBundledOutput(output1, initial)
  
• 
  sleep(0.7)
  
• 
  else
  
• 
  if name == "name1" then
  
• 
  getLocation()
  
• 
  break
  
• 
  else
  
• 
  if name == "name2" then
  
• 
  getLocation()
  
• 
  break
  
• 
  else
  
• 
  if name == "name3" then
  
• 
  getLocation()
  
• 
  break
  
• 
  else
  
• 
  if name == "name4" then
  
• 
  getLocation()
  
• 
  break
  
• 
  end
  
• 
  end
  
• 
  end
  
• 
  sleep(0.5)

I'm guessing you've got some spacing in there that's different from what you posted, since line 12 couldn't error like that. This line could though:

redstone.setBundledOutput(output,initial)

..and most certainly would, since your initial is

local initial = ("colors.combine(colors.white, colors.orange)")

And should be

local initial = colors.combine(colors.white, colors.orange)

(You can remove the parenthesis from all your variable declarations FYI)

that worked, now I get a new error ("face Palm")

.temp:25: attempt to call nil

I never heard of that before?

[KingofGamesYami]

Again, your 25th line couldn't throw that error. I suspect you've spelled getLocation incorrectly somewhere, as that's called on lines close to that one.

attempt to call nil means you are trying to use a function that doesn't exist. For example, if I created a program like this:

thisisafunctionidoubtanyonewouldevermake()

It'd throw that error (filename:1:attempt to call nil)

thank you for the help KingofGamesYami
