All you need to go is in the code.

allowed = false
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("PC"..os.getComputerID().."/ROM/ENTRY")
print("DENIED; ENTER ACCESS CODE")
rs.setOutput("top",false)
rs.setOutput("bottom",false)
rs.setOutput("left",false)
rs.setOutput("right",false)
rs.setOutput("front",false)
rs.setOutput("back",false)
sleep(0)
term.setCursorPos(34,1)
print(os.time())
term.setCursorPos(17,10)
write("USERNAME: ")
term.setCursorPos(34,20)
if allowed = false then
print("ACCESS STATE: FALSE")
if allowed = true then -- Problem is here, getting "bios:328: [string "startup"]:18: then expected
print("ACCESS STATE: TRUE")
end

Ignore above.

Now this isn't really a problem but its been wasting about 30 minutes of my time
I need a grid to show where the Y and Z cords are for term.setCursorPos(?,?)

Now I need to know why sleep does not work in while true do functions

while true do
print("hi")
sleep(3) -- It always is skipped in while true do.
end

Please tell me how to fix.

[nolongerexistant]

if allowed = true then

and

if allowed = false then

Is wrong.

if allowed == true then

if allowed == false then

= Sets a variable and == checks it

Oh, i always make that mistake. ;p
thanks

1,1 is in the top left. 1,2 is right below it.

It depends on the size of your screen. The X coord i across the top and Y is up and down.

If you do:

local x,y = term.getSize()

it will capture the size of your screen.
You can use the above for a lot of other things.

Mine is 51 x 19 so

1,2,3,4,5,6.....51
2
3
4
5

19

TY.
Now I have a problem, when I do while true do, sleeps do not function correctly. (they get skipped)

[Luanub]

Can you post updated code?

[remiX]

Sleep() does work in while true do functions. There must be something causing it to not sleep in your code. Is that the only code you have in your program?

[ChaddJackson12]

I haven't heard of sleep(). But that's just me, maybe. Try using "os.sleep()" instead.

have you been sleeping?? lol sorry bad pun.. sleep() is valid and works great. I've never had to use os.sleep()

Lol, yes, and I wouldn't know about sleep() because I really haven't learned default lua APIs, only ComputerCraft APIs. />

[Exerro]

try in a different program the code you had
while true do
sleep(3)
print(something)
end
if that doesnt work then you have probably installed computercraft incorrectly
