Hello..


I am trying to make program like this http://i.imgur.com/Sc0HT.png

Maybe you can tell your ideas how to make this program...



My idea - I have array of timers, and i start them for 15 sec ... If i get in this time rednet signal for device then device timer reset and device state true... If i dont get rednet signal for 15 sec then i change state to false...

And my problem is... I cant get timer id />

I am saving timers in array laiki

My code who dont work

os.startTimer(0.1)
  while true do
	  local evt, arg = os.pullEvent()
	  term.setCursorPos(10,10)
	  if evt == "timer" then
		 ir=false		
			for i=1,n do
				if laiki[i]==arg then
					aktivs[i]="OFF"
					ir=true
					break
				end
		  
			end
		 if ir==false then
			break
		 end		
	  else
			break
	  end
end

Only this code dont work...

I think i get timer id in wrong way...



Sorry for my english...

every time u start a timer it would make a new one (from what i know) so it wouldn't ever match the one in the table but if u assign a variable to the timer then it u can compare its output with the table and if it machos then thats the timer u were looking for.

local timerID = os.startTimer(1)

local event, arg1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "timer" and arg1 == timerID then
  print("My timer fired!")
end
