Who knows how to spell OpenComputers

[Pyure]

I'm hoping to garner some very entry-level answers to entry-level questions on OpenComputers.

About me:

• I've used ComputerCraft in the past to do simple programs.
• I am a professional developer (C#, Go for the most part these days) and understand programming principals
• I dislike learning from manuals

About my knowledge of OC:

• Virtually none
• I've been using http://ocdoc.cil.li/ as a resource so steer me elsewhere if this isn't the best site.

Question 1: What is the OC equivalent to CC's os.pullEvent("redstone")?

I see I can cheat and do component.redstone.getInput({side}) and then os.sleep for a while, but waiting for a queued event feels like the more appropriate method.

I'm guessing everyone else uses CC and this is a total bust

I know there's a way, it's just been so long since I've actively used OC. (Or... a few weeks in general for Minecraft) I apologize for not being able to help.

I'd recommend the OC forums, or whatever place Sangar frequents.

I can barely manage to use CC

I've seen you do neat things with CC before

I'd recommend the OC forums, or whatever place Sangar frequents.

Bookmark'd, thx.

Been a while since I've used OC for anything complex, but I'll answer questions as I can.

For your first question, you're probably looknig for the event API:
http://ocdoc.cil.li/api:event

Basically, either use event.pull to grab the event directly, or event.listen if you want to register a listener and a callback function to automatically be called.

http://ocdoc.cil.li/component:signals lists several signals, and it looks like the one you're looking for in this case is named redstone_changed.

Thanks, you may be right. I've been through both these pages previously but I think the name of the second one confused me (the term "signals" didn't mean anything to me)
