Lua Script Programming Help
Hey making a script for the Minecraft Modpack ComputerCraft and I need help with one of my programs that are not working. Basically I need it to repeat the following code 576 times:
Pulse Script code: 
rs.setOutput("back, true")



sleep(0.1)



rs.setoOutput("back, false")

One of my friends sent me a program but it didn't work:
Repeater Script code: 
while true do print("Enter Password") password = "Fire" if read() == password then print("Access Granted") for x = 1,10 do rs.setOutput("back", true) sleep(.1) rs.setOutput("back", false) end else print("Access Denied") sleep(1) end

Any ideas on how to fix the program above or any suggestions on a new script I should use?

i`m not a lua coder but for what i got from the documentation try this out:
code: 
for i = 0, 576, 1 do

  rs.setOutput("back, true")

  sleep(0.1)

  rs.setoOutput("back, false")

end

^Very good!


Using a different method, which is based on the same mechanism your friend's code was using:
LUA code: 
   i = 0

    while i  <= 576 do

         rs.setOutput("back, true")

         sleep(0.1)

         rs.setoOutput("back, false")

         i = i + 1

    end

Thanks guys but which one should I use? Is the 2nd code just longer for no reason but made for the sole purpose of making a code with my friend's mechanism?
