rednet.open("side")

id, message = rednet.receive("computer 1's ID", password)

if message == "password" then

redstone.SetOutput("side", true)

sleep(5)

redstone.SetOutput("side", false)

os.reboot()

The function rednet.receive() doesn't need anything inside the brackets other than the timeout.

The function rednet.receive() doesn't need anything inside the brackets other than the timeout.

and the timeout is...? the id?

EDIT: yes

[theprolo]

The timeout is optional, and only required if you want your program to stop receiving after a certain amount of time. Saying rednet.receive(5) will make your program stop receiving anything after 5 seconds and move on to the next line of code.

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

and how about computer 1?

[theprolo]

The eof expected? That means that there is an end statement at line 4 which has no function to end. Remove it.

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

now i get this error in copmuter 1: rednet :347: positive number expected

[theprolo]

Check that you haven't put a - in front of the 2nd computer's ID. It sounds like you entered a negative number instead of the real ID, so double check.

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

does there has to be a # before it?

[nedned2k]

If the ID is in quotation marks, it shouldn't be.

Also, you might want to take a second look at the spelling of the title of this thread.

[theprolo]

Nope, just the plain number.

Eg:

rednet.send(2,"Hi This Is My Password It Is Secret Honest")

Just leave it, and try copying the example I gave you to see if that works.

[nedned2k]

Not for numbers, no

OH GOD I CANT CHANGE IT XD and there is ''cum'' in it

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

rednet :3 5 0: string expected

-_-

[theprolo]

Don't change it D:

I was enjoying laughing at it!

Did you try putting the password in speech marks?

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

oh wait those '' '' are now supposed for the password XD

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

computer 2: startup:4: attempt to call nill

[nedned2k]

the S in redstone.SetOutput(...) should be lower case

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

lol cant test it yet, night

[ChargedCreeperBrony]

YES IT WORKS, oh thank you 2 so much!
