Your monitor will likely have plenty of columns, so I suppose you could use those to draw a bar chart. Calculate a percentage of how full each batbox is, and draw a line from the bottom of the screen leading up X% of the way to the top.

Either that or just print an average, I suppose. Or even just "(combined energy) / (total storage)".

It was my intention to combine all of the power and show a percentage of total power out of total capacity, but I don't know how to combine the energy readings, not with how they're presented

#215759 Bit of multi-peripheral addition help.

Posted by Inumel on 29 April 2015 - 05:15 AM in Ask a Pro

I am using some delicious peripheral wrapping code provided in another post by Lyqyd

function wrapAll(type)
  local wrapped, names = {}, {}
  for _, name in ipairs(peripheral.getNames()) do
	if peripheral.getType(name) == type then
	  table.insert(names, name)
	end
  end
  for _, fn in ipairs(peripheral.getMethods(names[1])) do
	wrapped[fn] = function(...)
	  local returns = {}
	  for i = 1, #names do
		returns[i] = peripheral.call(names[i], fn, ...)
	  end
	  return returns
	end
  end
  return wrapped
end

which I am using on IC2 batboxes, batbox = wrapAll("batbox") That works all fine and dandy,

I wrote a quick thing to get its energy,

test = batbox.getEUStored()
  for k,v in pairs(test) do
   print(v)
	end

Which outputs the energy of all 24(yes, 24 batboxes) properly. The issue is, that insane amount of info is hard to display on a monitor, so i wanted to coalesce the energy outputs of each batbox, sadly I don't know how to do so in the required for loop.

Any help is of course appreciated, credit for all above code goes to LYQYD

#214461 Wireless Redirect concept

I have no code, I don't even know if this is possible, so hear I ask.

Is it possible to redirect the terminal via a wireless modem?

basically remote access for a computer from a pocket computer
I have not even begun testing as I don't think its possible, but I would like to hear it from the pro's.

#213891 Color-based lock system

Ah. It's been quite some time since I've messed with files, Thank's for the help and pointing out my derp!

#213884 Color-based lock system

Posted by Inumel on 14 April 2015 - 01:32 AM in Ask a Pro

I'm trying to make a color-based locking system, wherein you use the paint program to mark out a code using colors, which is then read by another program and used as a key.

Applying one of each color, and reading the file outside of the paint progrem i've made the key

white:0
orange:1
magenta:2
lightBlue:3
yellow:4
lightGreen:5
pink:6
grey:7
lightGrey:8
cyan:9
purple:a
blue:b
brown:c
green:d
red:e
black:f

Which is all fine.
this is my attempt at reading a file:

print("please input a file name for testing")
ftc = tostring(read())
io.open(ftc,"r")
comp = ftc:read()
ftc:close()
print(comp)

It fails at line 4: "comp = ftc:read()": attempt to call nill

Now, maybe it simply can't read the file as it was created using paint, or maybe i'm doing something horrifically incorrect, sadly I'm unsure. So here I am, and help is appreciated.

#194797 Print To Server Console

Posted by Inumel on 30 September 2014 - 03:07 PM in Ask a Pro

You can do this if you use the command block API, but it has to be enabled in the CC config, and command blocks must be enabled on the server

Info on the api is here http://computercraft...mand_Block_(API)

using the /say command should do what you want it to

#189792 Why can't I get a variable to equal another variable?

I know this is a bit late, but you could also do y = tonumber(read()), then just do b == y

The following code asks the user a question, then does an action based on the answer. However, the code always defaults to the first choice. Why might that be happening?

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
print "FactoryOS is loading!"
sleep(3)
print "Worker or boss?"
e = read()
if e == "worker" or "Worker" then
print "Welcome Worker!"
shell.run("chat join Factory Worker"..os.getComputerID())
sleep(3)
os.reboot()
elseif e == "Boss" or e == "boss" then
print "What is the password?"
pass = read("*")
if pass == "password" then
print "Welcome Boss!"
shell.run("chat join Factory Boss"..os.getComputerID())
sleep(3)
os.reboot()
else
print "Rebooting"
sleep(3)
os.reboot()
end
end

EDIT: Found out it does work, it's just the OR command not doing what it should.

You messed up a bit on the first "or"

if e == "worker" or "Worker" then
should be

if e == "worker" or e == "Worker"

Also you can avoid using or conditionals by setting everything set by the read to lower, or upper

e = string.lower(read())
if e == "worker"

ect

Unless you cheated it in from NEI, as this has been a problem for people in the past. take it from a dungeon chest or creative menu
