Making a Password Protected Door

This tutorial covers on how to make a Computer output redstone current when the right password is typed in. The current is used to trigger an iron door on the left side of the Computer, you can change the side, of course.

How to make it

Here's the code for it, I'll explain what everything does in the comments. (the --'s). In your Computer, type 'edit startup'. Then write this code into there. (You don't need the comments (the --'s) in the final code) local side = "left" -- Change left to whatever side your door / redstone is on, E.G: left, right, front, back, bottom, top. Be sure to leave the "s around it, though local password = "bacon" -- Change bacon to what you want your password to be. Be sure to leave the "s around it, though local opentime = 5 -- Change 5 to how long (in seconds) you want the redstone current to be on. Don't put "s around it, though term.clear() -- Clears the screen term.setCursorPos(1,1) -- Fixes the cursor position write("Password: ") -- Prints 'Password: ' to the screen local input = read("*") -- Makes the variable 'input' have the contents of what the user types in, the "*" part sensors out the password if input == (password) then -- Checks if the user inputted the correct password

term.clear() -- Already explained up top
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Password correct!") -- Prints 'Password correct!' to the screen
rs.setOutput(side,true) -- Output a redstone current to the side you specified
sleep(opentime) -- Wait the amount of seconds you specifed, then..
rs.setOutput(side,false) -- Stop outputting a redstone current
os.reboot() -- Reboot the computer, reopening the lock

else -- Checks if the user didn't input the correct password

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos()
print("Password incorrect!") -- Prints 'Password incorrect!' to the screen
sleep(2) -- Waits 2 seconds
os.reboot() -- Reboot the computer, reopening the lock

end

(NOTE: If the program fails somehow, Pressing and holding Ctrl + T will terminate it, and allow you to edit it like normally)

No Termination

If you don't want people holding CTRL+T and quitting your lock, use this code at the top of your program:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
