So I am making a program to record how many times my door has tried to be opened with a wrong password,
but I get this error:


This is my code:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
function PrintDoors()
x = x + 1
print("Failed Opening Attempts:(..x..)")
end
if rs.getInput("bottom") then
PrintDoors()
end

Help?

It says you are missing 'then' on line 7.

if rs.getInput("bottom")

should be:

if rs.getInput("bottom") then

[Lettuce]

if statements must have a "then" at the end, telling Lua you are done entering parameters. It should be

if rs.getInput("bottom") then
PrintDoors()
end

A simple mistake.

Thank you that did work,
but now my other code doesn't work:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
print("X-Cor:DoorLock")
print("Passcode Required For Entry")
x = io.read()
if x == "xcor" then
print("Passcode Correct!")
redstone.setOutput("left", true)
sleep(2.5)
redstone.setOutput("left", false)
os.reboot()
else
print("Passcode Incorrect!")
redpulse top 1 1
sleep(1)
os.reboot()
end 

Here is the error:

Line 13 '=' expected
(It doesnt say this exactly i just broke it down)

and in the redpulse help function it doesnt say that you need ()'s or ""'s
Help Again?

It's redpulse("top", 1, 1) you need to add the parenthesis, signalling a function call. I may have gotten the syntax wrong, but you NEED parenthesis.

[nolongerexistant]

redpulse top 1 1

Needs to be

redpulse("top", 1, 1)
