Mars Project - Help with LUA code

[Gomo]

Hello guys,

 

I'm working on a small project and I got stuck.. It is about Computercraft. I know this isn't the right place to ask for help. (Hoping that somebody here knows a thing or two about Computercraft & is willing to help out)

Here's what I'm working on and what I'd like to achieve:

 

 

I got a computer on right side and I'd like to have constant redstone signal on top (for the red lights) -> "no go / closed air lock doors"

And when I right click on it, it asks for the launch permission password, if you enter the correct password it sends a redstone signal on the bottom block for 40 seconds which then lights up the green lights and opens up the air lock frame.

After 40 seconds it reboots/restarts.

 

And this is what I wrote so far, of course it doesn't work, hence why I seek for help :/

("edit startup")

while true do
rs.setOutput("top",true)
print("Enter the launch password: ")
password = read()
if password == "blabla" then
print("Launch sequence has been initiated!")
rs.setOutput("top",false)
rs.setOutput("bottom",true)
sleep(40)
rs.setOutput("bottom",false)
os.shutdown()
end

Any help is appreciated and once again I apologize for posting here.

 

-kind regards-

EDIT: Got the problem solved.

 

Here's the code for those who want something similar.

rs.setOutput("top",true)
rs.setOutput("bottom",false)

while true do
        print("Enter the launch password: ")
        password = read("*")
        
        if password == "blabla" then
                print("nLaunch sequence has been initiated!")
                rs.setOutput("top",false)
                rs.setOutput("bottom",true)
                sleep(40)
                rs.setOutput("bottom",false)
                rs.setOutput("top",true)
                print("Launch sequence complete.")
        else
                print("nInvalid password.")
        end
        
        sleep(3)
        term.clear()
        term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end
